for the queen of 87th place, south central... "Mama" Gladis Maine
We miss you, Mama, but we know that your spirit is as close as our very breath. It was your time to rest; carrying a nation on your shoulders had to stop some day. Thank you for staying until we could survive your exit, Mama. We love you for caring enough to hang tough despite all your physical pain... to see us through the start of a new beginning...
