in memory of

Odessa & Marie Singleton

34 & 15

by Kantrella Singleton

1997: My mom and my sister were both murdered by my mom’s estranged boyfriend in Paincourtville, Louisiana.

Connection

My mom and sister

Memories

I remember my mom doing our hair and singing to us. I also remember my sister reading the Bible to us.

Reminders

Their birthdays and holidays. Holidays were my favorite because my mom would buy us almost every board game there was.

Wish I could say

I would tell them that no matter what they may have thought went wrong, they were still loved.
