IM HURTING WITHOUT YOU.....
Michael Williams
December 11, 2009
Mom,
Isn't it amazing how one person can have such incredible influence on so many lives. Sometimes I feel like curling up in a little ball and forever keeping to myself, the pain and anguish I feel. But I know you wouldn't have it.
Of all the things I miss the most Mom, it's the knowing that you were praying for me. That in spite of my own ignorance and rebelliousness, you still held onto the faith and belief that God would look after me. But like all children, there comes a time when the values and things a good parent imparts with her kids, must be applied to their own lives for themselves. Like any child, they must learn to crawl first... and we've been crawling for quite some time now. You've been preparing us, even when we had no idea what we were getting ready for. Not for your 'going home' but for our 'standing up'. And like all children, we resist a little... we fall sometimes... and though I'm sure it pained you far more than how we feel now, when we turned to reach back for you, that special love you've always managed to show us all, pointed us back in the right direction.
I've told you a million times before, 'Thank you for my brothers and sisters'. Thank you for all the whoopins and visits to the school when we'd act up. Thank you for all your hard work. And for all the times I'd get out of bed, and put my ear up to your door and hear you crying and calling out each of our names to the Lord, Thank you.
You amazed us when Constance was born and how you began that cycle of love all over again. And with an extra 8 more grands, you didn't hesitate to extend yourself... your love to a new generation. All we could do, was sit back in amazement, at how this woman we call Mom, showed us what love and family was all about, all over again. You didn't get a chance to meet Aaliyah, the newest grand. But with all the love you've left behind, there's no doubt she will grow up feeling Gaiga's presence. Constance, your first grand is due soon. And I know we would have to pry you away once you held the baby in your arms.
I'm praying that 2010 proves to be a year of change. A year that forces all of us to put into practice those values and teachings that you devoted your life to sharing with us all. Although you can't call the grands on their birthdays, we (your children) can take up that cross and carry on that long-standing tradition. The purpose of which, was to make sure each of us felt special on our day. And while I know I'm not you, I pray that the next generation of grands can experience what you've established. No matter the circumstances, the politics, the bad conversations, you never let them get in the way of that blessed phone call.
Nobody knows what tomorrow holds for us. But you've given us the tools to face it with confidence and without fear.
The pain I feel right now, serves as a reminder, of how important and how hard I must work to prepare my own for the unknown. This pain lets me measure the effectiveness of my actions and non-actions.
In the meantime Mom, please know that although we may stumble a bit and reach back for you, we will stand and walk on our own.
I Love You,
Buck

GRANDMA,
I MISS YOU SO MUCH! IT HAS BEEN A YEAR, THREE MONTHS, AND SIX DAYS. MY LIFE HAS BEEN SO EMPTY WITHOUT YOU. BUT TODAY I AM HAPPY. YOU HAV CAME TO ME IN MY DREAM THREE DAYS AGO LETTING ME KNOW YOU ARE WITH ME... AND THAT YOU ARE PROUD OF THE WAY IM TAKING CARE OF MY DAUGHTER, AALIYAH, BORN (09/19/09). IN MY DREAM YOU HAD THE BIGGEST BAG OF BABY THINGS LIKE TOYS, DIAPERS, WIOES AND OTHER THINGS. I KNOW IF YOU WERE STILL HERE, YOU WOULD BE MY BACKBONE WHEN THINGS BECAME HARD. I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH. YOU ARE MY TRUE GUARDIAN ANGEL.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I am deeply saddened that Sis. Trula is no longer in our midst. She is missed terribly. Regretfully, I was in the hospital during the service. I'm so sad to have missed it. I pray the strength of God sustain all of her beautiful children and her husband during this challenging time. I love you and my prayers are with you.

To Monwell, Keithy, Michael, Trudy, Mr. Brown, and all family members (immediate or extended) I love each and every one of you. I get to see our mother in each of one us in some way. When we all got together at Trudy & John's house couldn't you "see" a little of mom in every last one of us? I could. Monwell, I "saw her" in your quick wit & smile. Keithy, I "saw her" in your humor and devotion. Michael, mom's bubbly laughter is what so many people have said they will miss the most. I didn't just "see her" laughter in you Michael, I saw mom in you. It's hard to describe but I realized that somewhere within you lives something that brought HAPPINESS TO MOM in the form of laughter. She could depend on it to make her laugh whenever she was down or when when she just wanted to laugh. I also "see her" fierceness to protect your loved ones. Trudy, so appropriately named after our mother, I felt mom's presence when we hugged. I think it's because your skin is soft just like hers was and combined with the presence of the Lord... Our mom has left a wonderful heritage for us to pass down to our children's children. Yes, we are all grieving and that will take some time before we all feel normal again but know that's o.k. Just remember there are no accidents, God doesn't make mistakes. He wants us to trust Him even when we are brokenhearted. We can trust Him to comfort us at those moments when we may become overwhelmed with grief. We can rejoice and have confidence in all of His Promises. Take these scriptures and meditate on them and remember to always pray. 1Thess 4:13-18, 1Cor 15:22, 2 Cor 1:19-22. Once again, I love all of you and to express my feelings I dedicate the PHOTO ALBUM in this book to each one of you. PLEASE CLICK ON PHOTO ALBUM!!!!!! Your Sister

Mom, I would give anything just to feel the softness of your skin against mine or smell the heady scent of your favorite fragrance...WHITE DIAMONDS! You and I had a special mother/daughter bond not just because of our mutual love for each other or our friendship or even our crazy sense of humor. Our bond was special for one reason because GOD ALWAYS DWELLED IN THE MIST. No, things weren't always perfect we did have our moments. We always managed to get past the rough patches together. Do you remember when I was about 10 years old I made you a promise? One day I overheard you on the phone in your bedroom. You were talking to a bill collector. When the conversation was over I could hear you crying. I made 2 promises that day one to me and one to you. I promised myself that I would never do anything to ever make you cry like that and I promised you that I would always take care of you. Mom, please, please, please know that I have done everything in my power to keep my promise to you. Have I been a good daughter? I miss you oh so very much and the world just isn't quite as beautiful as it once were before you left it. I know you are rejoicing with Jesus up in heaven. We all take great comfort in that wonderful fact. Mom, the last time you came over my house I hugged you real tight and kissed you and I wouldn't let you go. The last words I spoke to you were I LOVE YOU!!!! Now, I just want to add "I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN"
Your Loving Daughter & Best Friend

To all my family (cousins) including my own children and grandchildren let us take this time of great loss and remember that we all need each other. Sometimes God takes away the ones we love in order to bring closeness in the family! I am positive that Auntie would have wanted more closeness for our family to be exercised! I know she would smile down upon us and say job well done! Let us not take her passing in vain to continue in our same mind set where the family is concerned. Let us remember that we are only here for a season. We never know the day or time when we too will be called home. Let us keep in touch with one another! Let us love one another! Let us have the unity that we should have as a family and pray for deliverance of the lost ones! Let us make a vow to get to know our Lord "Jesus Christ" for we cannot do it alone without the presence of the "Holy Ghost" and reading of the Word that was left for us as a guide in order to know...how God wants us to live our daily life's in obedience to him. . I want to take this time to thank Senior Pastor Eulah M. Nelson for her part in delivering such a beautiful Eulogy I heard about sending off my Auntie Trula Mae Brown/Williams home to be with the Lord! Read Mark 11:25-26 and John 14:1 May the anointing spirit of God bless our family forever and always! Auntie rest in peace for you will be truly missed by us all who loved you dearly! You are in such a better place now…I will strive to enter in the kingdom of heaven so that I may see you again your loving niece Adrienne Williams!

This is to all my cousins Michael, Monwell, Keithy, Loretta and Trudy and all of your children. I wanted to give my deepest condolences to you all! To let you know...that I am sorry I wasn't able to attend and be there during your time of need and support unfortunately, all my attempts to be there failed! I really wanted to be there! For those of you who didn't know Auntie Trula Mae she was my favorite aunt! She loved the Lord! Auntie was a good listener her and I had many good times together! I will truly miss her and her smile and sense of humor it has been heart breaking for me to know that she is gone! I am honored to have had the privilege to tell her recently I loved her! Auntie was the one who was present when I first received the gift of the "Holy Ghost" back in 1998. I will always remember that day! Auntie Trula Mae she was so very supportive of me and pleased with my decision in giving my life to the Lord! Thank you Auntie Trula Mae I will never forget you and will always love you! Even though, you have left this earthly plane I know that you are now with "Jesus" and the problems of this world are no longer yours!

I would like to pass on my deepest sympathy to the Williams/ Floyd family on the recent loss of Trula Mae Brown who is in actual fact my great aunt. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to visit and get to know you during your time here but unfortunately never got the chance.
I hear from your son Michael that you were truly a beautiful person. The amount of love and respet he has for you shines through in his personality. I hope to be in inspiration to my own children as you have been for yours.
Rest in peace Auntie Trula Mae. With love always from your niece Shayne Thomas (Grand daughter of your sister Margaret and daughter of your niece Adrienne) in California.

Thank You So Much For Your Strength, Love & Wisdom... but most of all, that precious smile.
We were blessed to have you as our mother.
You touched so many lives with your love and kindness... always the example... always the source of so much joy and laughter.
Though we wish you would have stayed with us forever, there is comfort in knowing you are with The Lord.
But still, check in on us from time to time... and if it's not too much to ask, pour out some of that joy you're floating in, to remind us all that our work is not in vain.

In Loving Memory…
Through my husband Michael, I met a beautiful woman of God named Trula Mae. From the first day upon meeting my mother-in-law, I knew she was a woman who loved her children very much. I remember the questionable look that she gave me when we first met. I know she was thinking…”who is this woman from NYC that my son is so interested in”. That was fine though as I knew she loved her son…her children so much that she only wanted the best for them. That has always been my impression of this beautiful woman of God: wanting what’s best for those whom she loved. I’m so glad in Momma Brown’s final days she reaped what she so graciously sowed, through prayer, fasting and the daily reading of her Bible. Trula Brown was deeply loved by her husband, her children, family members and friends. We are going to miss her presence deeply. However, I know I can speak for all of us in that we will rejoice when we are together again. Enjoy God’s kingdom Momma Brown. You are so deserving to bask in His presence.

Dear Nana,
I’m sorry you had to leave us. Don’t be sad though. You were called to go to heaven, and that is the best place anyone could be. You are now painless, worry-free and calm. Luckily my dad told me that when you go to heaven there is a big mansion for you. So please take advantage of your new home. Remember us and always be happy.

One more second longer
Strange pictures on your phone.
Holding the horn in your car.
I thought you were being silly.
Until I realized that's who you are.
I wish I can hear you
for one more second.
Delicious brownies, spoiled yogurt and food. I'd eat it in a heart beat if you asked me to.
I wish I can taste it
for one more second.
I thought it was over, no more fun. But its not the end, life for you has just begun.
I wish I can feel the fun
for one more second.
Perfume oils, oils perfume. You always smelled good to me.
I wish I can smell you
for one more second.
High pants, orange hair, people had their thoughts but you didn't care.
I wish I can see you
for one more second.
I'm happy I only have one regret. And that's I didn't hug you
for one more second longer.

Although sometimes it's hard for us to understand God's plan; we have a great acccurance in knowing weeping only endure for a night, but JOY will come in the morning...
Sis. Trula is resting in the arms of Jesus and would want her family to carry on doing his will. At this time come together and cherish those great moments of your mom!!! Brown, remember God has your back! And be strong!!! Trudy I love you girl and all the rest of the siblings too.

To the Brown / Williams Family: Sis. Trula was my friend. We never missed a time to share a laugh together. She was a woman of Faith and she not only spoke it, read about it, but she walked it. Sis. Trula is now in heaven and the Angels are rejoicing her "Home-Coming". To the Family: Always cherish your memories of her and know that she is resting now with the Lord.

To the family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time; of one greatest losses of your lives. Sis Trula will be greatly missed. I saw her last, a few weeks ago while visiting ROC. She was still telling people that she remembers when I was just a little girl. (and you know that most of us are now in the "New 30's" group!)
I love you all and loved her dearly. I just want to encourage you that "earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal" and that in this time "the strength of the Lord rests on you."
Love & Blessings,
Carmie

Sister Trula was a woman of Faith. Her faithfulness, her laugh, and lovely smile will be greatly missed. I can truly say I was glad that I knew Sister Trula. My prayers go out the Williams family the Brown family and friends: Be comforted in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Sister Trula was saved and we know she is rejocing in Heaven.
