To Zoomie family,
my dear sister Zoomie has gone away. I will be so loss without the humor and the smile she had. We met each other at her salon. she took to me and my daughter like we were her blood family. I had the pleasure of meeting her mother. Zoomie said she no smile at no one. she like you☺️. so we would go over and keep mom as I called her company. Zoomie felt so comfortable with me and my girls so she asked could I sit with her. it was my pleasure to do so. Zoomie showed my girls how to do nails and feet. my sister even let my youngest daughter help her in her shop. she said she my niece and you my sister. My oldest daughter and Zoomie shared a birthday November 21, she took to my family like we were her blood relative. we will forever miss her. shoving food etc. you eat you eat for my mother. you hurt her feeling of you no eat. I love her sweet smile and sense of humor. Zoomie we LOVE you and will never forget you. love always Von Sawyer and family?????????
