One bright morning when my works is over I’ll Fly away Home. Dr. Angelou give me the strength to turn around y life when I need it the most, cause I know why the cage bird sing; I was trap In that cage(incarceration for seven years on probation for twenty-eight) and I’m still singing. The ones that are in the cages will sing and people, and nations will hear their voices; Peace and Blessing from God to you Dr. Maya Angelou one of our greatest Black Woman to dress this planet earth, and unto your Family One Love. The grave that have you body can’t hold your Voice
Janet King
Dr. Maya Angelou,
You were a hero to a race of women like myself….you were the first author, poet and teacher of the literary language for me!!! In spite of me having completed high school and had entered college in my early twenties, I had never really developed a love for reading until I purchased my first book published by you-“I know why the caged bird sings.”
After that I was hooked, then I purchased a whole set of books published by you. I just wanted whatever you wrote. Thanks for gracing this earth with your purpose! You could have made many decisions as a single-parent at 17 years-old, but you chose to seek purpose-and boy did you find it. I feel that you helped me at the age of 20 as a single-parent to be in the pursuit of my purpose and now I serve others in the public housing communities as a social service Coordinator teaching them about you and other trailblazers to help them seek their purpose!
So thank you for not quitting and being a teacher of humanity.
With much love and respect for your Legacy,
Janet King

Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr Angelou for your words of truth, love, courage, encouragement, wisdom, humility, humanity and many attributes and states of being. You will always live in our hearts, wherever we are … e.g. Grahamstown, South Africa; Stellenbosch, South Africa; Johannesburg, South Africa (my daughters’ and my residences).

Thank you Dr. Angelou for so unselfishly sharing yourself with the world. Thank you for the words of wisdom that you donated to us all and may we live the words that you have spoken and breathe peace into the world. I thank God for His sharing you with us. Enjoy your continuous life and we will see you soon and be able to share without the restraint of time.

I would like to extend my deepest prayers to all family members and close friends of Dr. Angelou.
Thank you, to our Creator who created such a beautiful creation…Dr. Angelou.
I have been so inspired by your ability to teach me, (us all) how to respect the power and romance behind words. Hence, the more intimately I have come to know the romance that lies within each word, the more I understood the meaning of the words. Through this discovery, I found myself…my authentic self…which brought me to seeing the only true and existing one, Our Creator of All Things.
I am humbled and blessed that I had to opportunity to witness GREATNESS close up. Thank you, Dr. Angelou for your infectious love of poetry behind words that gave language its overwhelming power.
Blessings and Peace,

Words cannot express your contribution to our society as a whole. Your inspiring words gave motivation to all who have ever read any of your books, poems & speeches. Thank you for being that beautiful light in my life. I know you are at peace and resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior. The life that you lived was a example to us all. Thanks for being one of God’s leading ladies in my life. RIP Dr. Maya Angelou

Cousin Marguerite (Maya),
You are so missed. My heart and spirit have an emptiness, since your passing, but as I reflect on your journey, the journey of our ancestors, and the generation that follows, I hope that the next generation will embrace the greatness that we “all” Inherently possess, just as you were a great example. Not only does our family have a beautiful outwardly connection, but our souls are filled with the greatness of our ancestors. I charge the youth to live with “purpose, passion, and conviction”. Thank you for your contribution to the world.
R.I.P. – you were (and are) a trailblazer,
J. Nikol Bradford
Linda Harrison
I can’t imagine a world without you. I wanted so desperately to meet you and share an intimate conversation over tea…and then I would sing for you (because I knew you loved music)…but it never happened. You will live forever in my heart. Thank you for blessing my life with your words of wisdom. Heaven is surely having a big party now that you’re there. With much love…Linda
