I was talking with cousin Brenda on today and just found out about Nita's passing. It really hit me hard. I didn't know!! I remember she always had a smile and a kind word whenever I saw her. My prayers are with the family.

TO THE FAMILY OF NITA,
NITA HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SMILE. SHE WILL TRUELY BE MISSED. I MET NITA THRU THE PATTERSON FAMILY. SHE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY, AND NEVER COMPLAINED. I AM SO SORRY I DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT HER PASSING UNTIL AFTER THE FUNERAL. KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILY WILL BE IN MY PRAYERS.

Bernita,
When you and I were new to Henrico High School, your Aunt Hattie asked me to look out for you. I see you on campus with your warm smile, confidence and awesome style and realize you could have been looking out for me.
Please believe that God knows what he is doing and he has equipped you to make it! Find me at school ANY time and I will be there for you the way your aunt is there for my daughter.

A battle well fought finally came to an end,
You lost your mother, who was also your best friend;
Seeing you without her is going to be hard to bare,
But we all no in spirit that she will always be there;
She will be missed from attending all family functions,parties and affairs,
But we know she will be watching at the top of the heavenly stairs;
And remember little sister when you're sitting alone and your weary mind starts to wonder,
We are always here for you, Shalonda and big sister Wanda.
Love you Nita

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.

James,
I was truly torn when I heard the news about your sister. Just want to let you know that you are in my prayers. The road is rough but God will bring you through it. Trust him and know that he want people like your sister, my mother and all that has gone on before us in his Kingdom to perform a good work. I know you will miss her and I'm not going to tell you that it will be easy. I can only tell you that it's gets better with time but, I don't think we ever forget. Who wants to forget anyway? It is the memories that helps us to move on and know that one day we will meet again. May God surely bless each and every family member of your family. My heart cries out for you because I know what it feels like to loss someone that you have loved all your life. Be Strong and Let God Comfort Your Heart!
Love Always,
Tonie
