    Our Prayers are with Crystal and Sandy. My Mom kept Crystal and Sandy when we all lived in Chesapeake Manor. Lilbit as we always called her will be truly missed by all.

    Lil Bit was my neighbor on Hanson Ave. and my son loved her to pieces. Everytime I pulled up she was coming out the door to see if I needed help with bring bags or my heavy son in the house..She had a smile that would light up a room and everytime I seen her after I moved, she still had that same smile. She will greatly be missed. Praying for the family and friends. RIH

    Lil’ Bit was my neighbor in Calvert Square a.k.a. Curry Park. I never knew her real name until now. She was good people. Always outside picking up trash in people’s yards & ALWAYS walking around with those earbuds on; if you wanted to get her attention when she walked past with those earbuds on you had to wave your hands & hope that she just happened to look your way ?. She will be missed in our court.

    She was my second mother. She was so perfect and saw no wrong in me. She loved me as her own and always had my back. A walking angel on earth. Would give her last if she had it. I went to see her the night before she gained her wings. I just watched her sleep. She slept so peacefully like she knew we would be okay upon her exit. Lil Bit i will forever love you and will NEVER forget you. Thank You soooo much for my sisters Sandra, Netta, and Chris. We built a bond that can’t be broken.. We will celebrate your life on tomorrow and live with our precious memories …I LOVE YOU
