Going through the vault during this celebratory time for my family.
I mentioned that I wished Brother Mack were here to witness my daughter’s graduation from . I remember telling him that he would be there if I had to go and get him myself. He agreed that he would be present for his youngest granddaughter’s college commencement. God called him home December, 2025 at 89 years.
A graduate of achieving a degree in higher education was so important to him. He demanded excellence from the generations coming behind him. He was hard on his girls and even harder on his grandchildren.
Daddy would be so proud of Jalyn and would tell her so but also, follow up with, she went and did just what she was supposed to do!
Here’s a few photos of Jalyn as a baby during my law school graduation, as a young girl and later as a teen along with Daddy, my Mom and the Matriarch, Maternal Grandmother.
Jalyn is a fourth generation college graduate. Get that! Fourth Generation college graduate. The Matriarch pictured above first generation (Savannah State U), God is Good! 🙌🏾
