**From Her Gam**:
“To my only grandchild; the world to me and her papa, who had just left us only a short time ago—spread those wings and fly like the angel you are and always have been; fly with our other angels—Papa and Aunt Jess. You brighten my life—My Cupcake. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Gam.”
**From Uncle Jack**:
“You are the best niece an uncle could ever ask for. You brought the good out in all of us and had a bright future ahead of you. You were the future of our family; you were the one to actually make it. You’re everything to me—my niece, my little sister, my daughter I never had. Me and you had a bond like no other because we understood each other to the core. My mini-me with the one big ear. My brat. This world is going to be darker and colder without you in it, BooBoo. Who else am I gonna rap drill and trap music with now that my buddy is gone? This world didn’t deserve you, but I guess God had bigger plans for you. I just know Jessica and Dad are up there letting you know we’re okay, and with them, I know you’re okay as well. Rest in peace, Courtney Lee Miller. Spread your wings and watch over your Mother and Gam because they need you. Uncle Jack will be okay.”
