I can't help but to read your text messages over and over, I see your name when I scroll down my call log and I can't help wanting to call u or waiting for u to call me in the middle of the night. I lost my best friend. I miss u so much. It's hard coping without my Big Sisters Advice. I will remember all your words of wisdom, Your joyful laugh, and our sisterly bond like no other. I love u and missing u.

Mama-
I wrote for days...thinking about what to say...how to say it. However, it turned into a book instead of a message. (Which we will publish later ;-)) So then I thought what just comes to mind when I think of you?
BEAUTY- "Girl back in my young days I could have any man, I can still do it now...because I got it like that!"
CONFIDENCE - "Quit being scary ...you have to take a chance to win big! "
CRAZY - "Girl you took too long...I am on a scooter rolling down industrial!"
ADVENTUROUS - "Let's just go...Girl you got to live!"
FUNNY - "Hey I just heard this new rap song ...tell me if I got it?"
CARING - "Shea this is ______(insert any name of any homeless person in America)
ENCOURAGING. - "Awe girl...we got this ...and when we think we don't we fight harder!"
LOVING - "Now that's my grandson, and I don't ever want him wanting for anything...and you leave him alone. "
I guess I am still writing a book huh? LOL
I will miss competing with you...from "Angry Birds" to who has the best enchiladas. I will miss calling you and being able to tell you anything ...without being judged. I will miss you refereeing between me and "your grandson". I will miss laying on you and you rubbing my head. I will miss you cussing me out...LOL and sounding so funny I could never take you serious. Actually, I will miss EVERYTHING! You were beyond special ...you were AMAZING! I love you soooooo much!!! "I love you more than there are grains of sand on the ocean shore" -your turn

Love you Mama,
Anshea

Hey bestfriend! Hero! Nana! I miss you, cant believe you are gone, this is crazy. There's so much I wanted to tell you and had questions about, some many plans. You taught me so much that ill never forget and will teach my kids. First thing my kids will know is that their great grandmother was the greatest and strongest women. You are beautiful and special. Always will be. I will make you proud. I love you.

It is still so hard to believe that we will not be blessed with the sight of your smile and sound of your laugh again. I guess God felt you had done your share here and needed you elsewhere even though we all feel you left us too soon. I can hear the sound of you laughter in my head every time i think of you. I think of all the people you helped and rescued from bad situations, no matter what age or race or what the problem was you were always there to lend a helping hand and I know if you were still here you would continue on that path. What keeps us going is all of the wonderful and often times funny memories we have of you. If there was a job that needed to be done you would do it and of course if you couldn't you had a friend who could. I think you knew of every brand new company and business that was starting and if there was an opportunity for you and more importantly to you for your family to benefit from you made sure we all knew about it. WE know your are safe, happy and no longer hurting and though that is comforting it is still very tough. You would be so proud of us, your family and how we came together and supported each other and did just what you would have wanted us to, and the fact that we are continuing to support each other as time heals our wounds that were created when you were laid to rest. I try to focus on the good times. I remember when you got sunburned in Hawaii, and then skipped a step on the tour bus while looking at the handsome bus driver only to land on your badly burned knees. I can hear you screaming "Anshaunna!!" when we did something to aggravate you. I can say that all of your nieces and nephews had a little bit of fun poking fun at you and we are so blessed to have had you in our lives for the amount of time that we did. Your memory will live in our hearts forever. There will never be another Sondra D. Deboskie, We will love you always!

Not a day goes by that I dont think about you. I will always love you no matter what. I will never for get you no matter what. Im so hurt that you are gone, because you told me when the time came that i would be ready and no every thing i needed to do. I was no where near ready. I feel so lost out here with out you to help vote on what I should do. It doesnt feel right hearing what every one has to say and then not hearing your thought. No one to calm me down when im nervous about my test at school in the middle of the day. No one to tell me im going to be ok and I have to keep going when school starts to get rough and when times get rough for me. I wanted to see you to see Roman so bad and tell me what you thought about him. You never got to give me that advice on being a mom and that hurts so bad. Ill never forget all the things you taught me. Ill never forget all the late night phone calls. All the times my phone would randomly dial you while I was out with friends and you asking where I was at and who are you with. All the nights you would stay up and wait for me to come back home from going out. No one to understand how mad i really am with out getting upset. I love you and I cherish all the moments you were there for me both good and bad. Some of the best times with you were when I need to clear my head. I truly needed you those times to help me clear the fog from my mind so i could focus. We went all the way to Las Vegas just so I could have fun and clear my mind before college started and we stayed all the way up until two days before my big day. I love you Aunt Sondra and im going to carry you in my heart every where I go. Forever and always.

Oh Aunt Sondra I never thought you'd leave me. Now there's no one to give me advice about things I don't even need advice on. No one to slowly guide me step by step through an incredibly easy task, or no one to call on a random day to talk about dreams, money or women. You could call and completely change the negative flow of my day, and give me so much drive to do something good for myself or for my family. I'd give anything now to be just sitting in my living room having a conversation that made no sense. You'll always be on my mind.... I love you Sondra D.

Angela Deboskie

I miss you soo much words can not explain. I often reach for my phone to call you only to remember that I cant. I miss your laughter and your words of wisdom. I have to think about the good times the trips the drinks.... mostly me you weren't a good drinker lol the first time I moved to Vegas and stayed in the room with you...taking me to the clubs at 19 making me go to work without sleep and glitter in my hair .... The parties the people you would meet and talk to... So glad I came home and got to spend some time with you nothing can replace the time you spent with my kids we laugh about the things they did just to watch you for a reaction. I keep waiting for you to call and tell me about your day as only you could. I wanna tell you about the people who make me mad so you can tell me to behave as only you could do...Who will calm me down now.... I was thinking today about you doing my hair and taking care of me especially when I had my baby and me taking care of you when you needed me for whatever reason. I wish you were here with me so we could laugh together.I LOVE you Sondra

Sondra loved her family and she was the life of the party. Sondra and I became great friends and had a bond like no other. I fell in love w her when her baby Anshea was 4 yrs old and it was truly a blessing loving and caring for them. We had tons of fun together. Sondra was truly a loving woman w a heart of gold and would help whoever she could. I will always treasure the times we shared in Vegas, Austin, LA Abilene and her home in Midland. Life is crazy!!! Sometimes life hurts when you really love someone and they slip away from you. Sondra you will always be alive in my heart and you are like a treasure that is hidden and I will find you when my job is done here, so until then R.I.P.
Sending my love to all the family. God bless you all!

Growing up it was very difficult to follow in your footsteps you were the smartest, prettiest, and most responsible. I can remember just cringing when the teachers would say are you Sondra Deboskie's little sister because they expected me to be as gifted as you were, which I was not, but I did want to be like you. You started things so great for the rest of us, with your high IQ and good grades, you being such a talented speaker reciting “The Wreck of the Hesperus” over and over, cosmetology school, and the perfect most beautiful wedding.
One of the things that stays in my mind is when you married you had gone to the Dr. and brought home birth control pills. I found them in your purse while sitting in Grandma Dells driveway, and wrote a nasty little note on the package that you were a murderer and were killing my niece or nephew,( I was only 13 I did not even know how birth control worked I just wanted her to have a child). After turning red, you laughed and explained it to me that that is not what would happen. Years later, after trying a different method of birth control (it did not work you were in the 2% to get pregnant). You came back home to have your baby, I was very fortunate to be a part of that, I made you spaghetti before the delivery, was at the hospital when the baby was born, and even helped create her name “ Anshea” . I am so glad you had her for us and that I was able to help raise her. When it came time for me to take birth control, I did not take those pills thinking about what I had said to you, and that is how our girls were so close in age. You divorced and I divorced we both moved home and had the most fun ever; we made up for all the partying we had never done! All the numerous late nights, Jacuzzi parties, happy hour at Kenny's, concerts, trips to Dallas, trips to California, Las Vegas, and the unforgettable trip to Hawaii.
I am so thankful for the years that we shared a room together, worked together, and laughed and laughed at our personal funny stories. I can still see you turning red and losing your breath laughing. You will always be my big sister and my friend; I will always love you and treasure your memories in my heart forever.

I am sorry for that, but she has left behind a legacy in LaShea and Aja'e! They do u proud Sondra! U may look down from heaven and smile, knowing they represent you well. Continue to watch over them for they will miss your loving touch......

November 17, 2012

STRENGTH AND HONOUR ARE HER CLOTHING, AND SHE SHALL REJOICE IN TIME TO COME.
SHE OPENETH HER MOUTH WITH WISDOM, AND IN HER TONGUE IS THE LAW OF KINDNESS.
SHE LOOKETH WELL TO THE WAYS OF HER HOUSEHOLD. AND EATETH NOT THE BREAD OF IDLENESS.
HER CHILDRED ARISE UP, AND CALL HER BLESSED; HER HUSBAND ALSO, AND HE PRAISETH HER. MANY DAUGHTERS HAVE DONE VIRTUCUSLY, BUT THOU EXCELLEST THEM ALL. FAVOUR IS DECEITFUL, AND BEAUTY IS VAIN , BUT A WOMAN THAT FEARETH THE LORD, SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. GIVE HER OF THE FRUIT OF HER HANDS; AND LET HER WORKS PRAISE HER IN THE GATES.
