Dang that really saddens me….I lost my favorite aunt Claudine who was like a second mother, best-friend and my strength to Breast Cancer in 02/11/2001 and my Granny Ingram who was my comforter, best-friend, my hope and encouragement to Colon Cancer in 05/21/2007..*tears*..I really liked Eartha especially in the movie “Boomerang” as Lady Eloise! Rest In Peace Eartha and you will be missed. Tell My Te-Te Dean, my Granny Ingram and my sweet Grandmother Lillian who also passed away 01/23/2008 of health complications….please tell them hello, I love and miss them and I can’t wait to go to Heaven to be with them again……*tears*……
