Brent (Akilah/Grandboys), Ms Annie & Family,
Sending my sincere condolences and prayers to your family. What a pleasure to know and service (hair) Ms Marina here in Detroit, MI. She had such a kind, sweet loving spirit. I will hold the fond moments I had with Marina while doing her hair at early 6am appts where she’d update me on her son, daughter-n-love and grands with pictures and new food recipes while getting her hair done. It was soo evident (in her eyes and voice) how she loved her mom, son, grands and family as she would love-brag about them. I loved that about her. What a sweetheart soul. Thank you for sharing her with me. Thank you KiKi for introducing Ms Marina to me. Love, hugs and blessings
