Mom,
It's been almost thirteen years since the last time I've written on this page! It's not because I don't miss you, but because in order to fulfill your request, I had to disconnect from my feelings and emotions in order to eulogize you properly. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you or wish you were here so that we could have our special conversations over coffee. In fact, drinking coffee no longer carries the same meaning as it once did. Zeborah and I divorced in 2019, only to remarry in 2021. Sanai is a Freshman in college on a full athletic scholarship. I was called to pastor a church in 2019, but left in 2021 to establish the the work that the LORD called me to, now known as Temple of Deliverance. In July of 2022, I was consecrated to the office of Bishop within our LORD's church. In 2023, I was given an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Divinity for my work as a minister in the gospel. As you can see, I have strived to put into the practice those things that you taught, prayed, instilled, and sometimes beat into my head, heart, and spirit. I am the man I am today because of your presence in my life. As before, I don't like visiting your resting place, because while your remains may be inside, your spirit is not there. I hear you often whispering in my ear and reminding me of who and whose I am. This maybe perhaps my last time visiting this site, and if it is, I ask that you continue to look upon me with grace, dignity and profound admiration. Lastly, since you're closer to God than you've ever been, please ask him to let some fulfilling drops fall on my works, that they may grow and produce a bountiful harvest. I have some prayers on the altar that I need him to answer! Until we meet in that Great Gettin Up Morning!!
I Love You,
Bishop Samuel L. Massenburg, Jr. DDiv.

Mom.
It does not seem like 14 years have gone by since you left us. I think of you everyday. I wish you were here to see all that has happened since you left. Maurice is married with a baby girl. Samuel is now a bishop with a church. I finally stop drinking pepsis and lost a lot of weight. As I sit here tonight thinking of you and wishing more than ever that you were here to dry the tears from my eyes. Everytime I think of you I think of the last time I saw you and knowing I would never see you again in this life. My heart aches just to see you but I do know your in a better place. No more pain or suffering and my last vision of you and two angels walking toward the brightest light I have ever seen in my life. Know mo mom that l love you more than my own life and I pray that the pain of your leaving will one day not hurt like it does. My heart is always near you and my love will forever burn bright until I see you again. I love you Mom

Today is your Birthday Mom!
Today as I read the post from my sister, I am sadden because I think of my Mom often. I cannot feel her, or kiss her, or hear her aduible words. Death is never understood only accepted. I know she is in a better place but today my heart is heavy, my eyes are waterd and my spirit is low and I feel alone not because I do not think she is not in a better place, but because I miss her so much. We all like to be spiritual and speak as if nothing is wrong , and pain is not flelt. But today I am being real, I am being human. I know how to pray, I know God is able I know he is God alone but it still does not stop the pain I feel today, missing my Mom. I love you so much Mom and I miss you even More. I really do miss you so much....

I did not know it has been a whole year since I have written to you. Missed your B-Day but you were in all of my thoughts. Still hanging and hoping for the best. Ty is big now and you of course would recognize him. Just growing and Caide is one now. Never ever imagine losing you would be so hard and never get use to you being gone. You are always in my heart and my thoughts. Missing you dearly and loving you even more.

Hello Mom,
Today is your 80th birthday. O how I miss you so much. Life is so different now and you have so many great grands. They are all so cute and even little Caiden is so beautiful. More boys than girls which is the norm for this family. I just miss you and wish for you always. The family is still holding on. Everyone seems fine and we all just try to make it. I will visit soon but until Happy Birthday.
Love you best

Hey Ladybug! I was sitting here thinking about you and missing you. I realized that I'm probably the only one who hasn't put anything on here. I miss you and Cherry like crazy and some times are harder than others but I know you are where you're supposed to be. But I carry you in my heart. Love you and miss you Ladybug!

Hello Mother,
It has been a long time since I have taken the time to just say "I LOVE YOU". It is so hard to write you my thoughts or even visit your gravesite. I am reminded so much each day of how I did not ever want to be alone and now the feeling seems to always linger. Everyday that I pass your gravesite I want to stop but I do not want to feel vulnerable and alone. So much has happen and so much has changed in only 4.5 years. I love you with all my heart and miss you even more and wish each day that I could just see you. kiss you or even speak to you. Just know that You are sorely missed and with each passing day your memory lingers even more.
Love you MOM

I try to do as you and Jesus did and love one another and be there in time of Need . That is all I can do and is required of to do reach out.although there are times this flesh feels like throwing in the towel, yet God thanks be to through Jesus and the holy ghost (spirit) allows me to press on.Thank-You for your love and kindness towards me always love you in Jesus name.

Hello Mom,
I am sorry that I have not had time to visit you. It seems like just yesterday when you left us. So much has happen and I often think to myself what would Mom do if this happened and she were here. I miss you so much and it still hurts to think of you and you are not here. Sometimes I just want to give up and then I think what would you do and I get the will to keep moving on. Life will never be the same without you and my hope is that one day I can see you again. I live to live again and I know that you are not suffering any more. I feel that at last you are at rest. Until we meet on the other side Mom know that you will always have be in my heart and in my mind forever. You would be so proud of your great-grands, all are supper smart and just as cute. Love you always MOM.

Hello Mom,
I have truly missed you this year. You are missed so much and I really wish for you. So much has happened since you have been gone. I have a new car (a big one), I am in school, and Ty made honor roll. We are all holding on and just trying to make it without you. The holidays are the worse. We miss your cooking and the pies. Just know that life is not the same without you. It feels like something is missing. I love you MOM. Miss you much. Love Pam

Ma,
I know it has been some time since I've been here, but that is because the pain of you not being here sometimes is unbearable. I have returned back to school as I promised and have a 3.50 right now and have finished my first semester! I love you mom and miss you so much, I know that you watch over all of us however. Just know that you are truly missed.

Mom,
I really miss you so much. Time is steadily moving on and I just wish that I could kiss your cheek, or hold your hand and/or just look at you one more time. Maurice is in Afghan now and I know that he misses you so much. He did see your head stone and I know that he is feeling lost without you. We are all doing good and I know that we as a family feel the affects of not having you here. I love more that life itself and just know that life is not the same without you. Mother's Day was not mother's day without you. Love you best.

Mom,
It is another Thaksgiving that you are not here with us. It seems like it was only yesterday that you left us and we try so hard to be strong because we know that is what you displayed all of your life(strength). I will never get use to you being gone. It is so hard to accept that you are no longer here with us in the body. I know we all feel you gone and we try so hard to keep it together but you were the glue that held us close. Everyone is just surviving. Maurice is gone again and I miss him so much. I never knew one could love so deeply and miss someone so much. I love and miss you Mom and hope that you are just looking down on us and keeping the flame of love going for us all

Ma,
I know that it has been awhile since I've been here to write, the truth is that it hurts knowing that you are still not here when i need you the most. So much has happened since the last time I was here that I feel like I have let you down. My life has taken a downward spiral and at times I dont feel like I can bounce back from it. In times past, it was during these times that we would have our heart to heart talks; I could really use one of those right now! I know that through our talks you always told me to trust in God, but it's kinda hard right now. In all that you have gone through, you have always sshown trust and faith in God and that is what I am holding onto right now. I Miss and Love You So Much!!

Mom,
You would be proud and honored of the way that we are trying to honor your request to stay close and do Sunday dinners. It was such and blessing to have the family come and just fellowship and eat as you would have wanted. We did take the good that you gave us and we are trying so hard to do things in our lives as you would have done. Tyrone Me, Jerome and Kim all have a great part of you in us and that part is the part that keeps us wanting to do the blessed things that you would have wanted us to do. We all love you and we love one another, we may not always show it but we do. You were everything to us and you showed us how to go to the LORD and get what we need. Your living is not, & will not be in vain. You have left a lasting legacy here for us and it will forever live in us and we have it. You were the greatest example of who and what GOD is and we will not disappoint you. We all love and miss you MOM

Momma, I still remember it like it was today. I remember what your last month, your last weeks, days,hours, mins, secs and moments were like forever edged in my mind. I miss you, there can never be another u. But so much reminds me of you, especially Clinton, Sanai, Kyla and Layla. Clinton told me of your conversation with him and I just wanted to cry, I knew it was a blessed time in the Holy Spirit. Even though I long for you in presence but I know you are in Gods Eternal Peace I Love you....Kim aka Haggai

Mom,
I have not been here in a long time. I truly miss you so much. Your birthday was so hard for me this year. With each passing your b-day gets harder and harder. You were the epitomy of a great mother. Time has not healed my wounds. I only deal with it by not thinking about it. I miss you and I know you would have enjoyed your day. We are all doing our own thing. Tyrone, Myself, Jerome & Kim. The kids are still being themselves but they all are family. My heart breaks each time I think of you and realize you are no longer here to soothe our hurts. Just know that I love and miss you

Momma no one knows how I feel, how alone I feel without you. You always knew before I ever said a word or you ever saw a teardrop. I wish countless times that you were here to ease my loneliness that feel. You were the one who was always here for me, and I miss you so much, I miss all ur guidance all ur hugs i miss ur soothing voice. I try so hard to be there for everyone but theres no one for me. Its selfish to still be longing for you when I know u are at peace. I saw and felt your pain and discomfort and I knew you were ready to go home in God's perfect peace. I love you, truly miss you but I understand your flight. Happy Mother's Day-1 more with out you.

Ma,
My heart echoes the same feelings that mom has. It has been truly hard here without you, but we make it. I am Grateful however, for the time time that you got to spend with Sanai before you went home to be with the Lord; i look at her and see you all the time. My heart often aches with pain because you are no longer here for us to have our conversations and to give me Spiritual Guidance when I need it. I truly Miss You Ma!!! You Still Remain The Reason Why I Am Who I Am Today, Thank You! Happy Mother's Day

MOM,
It has been another Mother's Day without you. I often think at times like this what you would do. No one has replaced you. It is hard to do and act the way you would because you were one of a kind. You would always make things so much better. No matter what we faced, with you we knew the sun would shine. Time has not taken away the pain of your leaving. It does not hurt as bad as it did when you first left but it still hurts. You were the best and I am so sorry I did not show you before you left. No one will ever take your place Mom. Mother's Day seems so strange now that you don't share it with us. You were Mom and all we needed was to be around you and we knew we could face life another day. I am still waiting for God to send me someone that will ease the pain in my heart when I think of you. I know you are in a better place and to GOD I am thankful. But I miss you MOM so much. My heart breaks each time I think of you and realize you are not here but gone. You will always be the beat of my heart. MOM I LOVE YOU HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Mom,
It has been (1) year and 2 months since you left us. I think of you every day and there is not a moment that passes that I wish I could feel your hug, or your kiss, or your hand, or see your smile. I think that I miss you the most. I wish for you often and just wish that I had one more day with you. I know that I can never get back the time that I missed with you but I wish that I would have known when you would leave and just maybe I could have spent more time with you. You are always in my heart and never far from my mind. Christmas has not been the same since you left. There really is a void that has not been filled since you left. I do not think it ever will. It gets harder and harder to visit your grave site because the reality of you not being here becomes more and more real. Know that I miss you so much and just wish that you could still be here with us. I Love you with my whole heart

MOM,
These days, months, and year have been the hardest that I have ever had to endure. I wish for you so many times and when people that I know speak about their MOM I just wish in my heart that you were near. I near thought that losing you would be so hard to accept. I know in my heart that you did not want to go on the way that you were but, I was not ready to let you go. It has been (1) year this month since you passed and I still hurt and long for you. I miss your smile, your laugh, your voice your calling me Pamela D. No one will ever take your place. I have never missed anyone the way I miss you. The kids are still the same. Ty is getting taller and Miracle reminds me of you. I go to the grave site and still cry and realize you are not there and just wondering what heaven is really like. I know that angels are rejoicing and you are resting in the arms of GOD. Know that I miss you and you are forever in my heart and my thoughts
I will always Love you MOM.

Hi Mom.
I don't come here often nor do I go to the grave site trust me it isn't cause I don't miss because I miss more than words can ever express. I try to be strong for everyone else, trying to make it easier for them as always forgetting about myself. I wish you could be here now when I need you the most. You always have guided me and been here to ease my pain when the I felt the world turned its back on me even when I said I wasn't hurting you knew that I was and was there for me. God sent me someone I think you would approve of and did before you left, he tries so hard but I think this is more than they can handle but he hangs right on in there. I keep saying God makes no mistakes and he knows best would have been nice for you to be here a little while longer. I try not to express how I feel but today is a day that i couldn't hold it in 1 moment longer. I look at Miracle and still see you, knowing how much you are smiling on her. I look at the family and sometimes think, things never change and I want so much to help them and can't I'm not you. Just wishing I could fix everything like you did ease all there cares and can't I'm not you and can't be. I thank God he didn't totally leave me alone, I thank Him every day for Clinton, I know this isn't easy for him but I'm truly glad gave gave me him. Pain they say is relative, but does it ever go away. Know that I love me and always will and forever missing you.

After death, life seems sometimes cruel and unusual. Ma, it has been nearly three months since the last time i visited your grave. The reason being, I cant bare to see you in that state. For over thirty years of my life, you have been around; and to know that you are no longer apart of my everyday life is very hurtful. There are so many things that I wish you were here for, like Sanai's third birthday, and to see my first house, or even to see the anointing on my life increase! You were my Best Friend and My Heart! There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you or wish to have coffee with you! I asked Sanai the Monday if she knew where you were, and she said at Home! Im hurting right now because there are alot of things I wish I could talk to you about, but you are not here to respond back to my questions. I re-enrolled in school; I made you a promise to finish and that is a promise that I will not break! Since you are closer to God now, ask Him to not forget about me!

Mom,
Today is the day after your 76th Birthday. On Tuesday I went to the gravesite and it does not feel the same. I guess the healing is helping. We are trying as a family to stay close as you would have wanted and tried so hard to achieve. I really miss not being able to talk to you. Even at your worst you still would come around and talk for a while. Not having you in my life seems so strange. I just feel that I need my Mom. You were just a pillar of strength and encouragement. Now we must encourage ourselves. Clint is wonderful. I know that you would approve of him and Kim, she is Kim. I look at Miracle and think of you so much. She is just adorable and getting taller each day. Samuel is maturing and I see changes in him. Tyshaun is still JO-JO's pride and joy and he talks of you. There is a sadness that he carries and I hope and pray that he will overcome it soon. I just wanted you to know that I miss you on the first year of your birth that you have been gone. I love you Mom.

Mom,
I know that you are not here in the body but, you must know that each day I feel your spirit. This has been the hardest thing that has ever impacted my life. I remember all of our conversations and with each one you would always impart wisdom. You were my everything, my life, my love my friend, my girl, you were just everything that anyone would want in a Mom and now that you are gone we all feel the impact of you not being here. You would always tell us that one day you were going to leave us and I do not believe that any of us were prepared for your leaving. I think about you each day. I visit your grave site often even though my mind knows that you are not present I just hope to see you. I dream of you often and you seem so real, that I can almost touch you but reality sets in and I remind myself that is only a dream. I remember you telling me that after grandmother passed your life was never the same, and some how I feel you were telling me the same. It is as if you took a big portion of me with you. I know that you are not suffering any more and for that I praise the LORD, but I miss you so much. I wonder why in my mind and in my heart I have the answer "It was your Time". God truly gave us an angel when he gave us you and heaven is rejoicing to have you back. There will never again be a Shirley H. J. Perry and I am sure GOD meant it to be that way but we really miss you. “Mother's Day” was not the same and will never again be the same without you. I know in my heart that one day I will see you again and my comfort is in knowing that I saw you with the angels that escorted you to the one that loved you the best. I LOVE YOU MOM and miss you so much. You will never be apart from me. God Knew best and I know in his time he will give me a replacement that will love me as you did and the hurt and the pain of missing you will not be so great. I MISS YOU SHIRLEY!

Ma, It has been six months since we last saw you alive. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and yearn to see your smiling face when I walk into the room. I often find myself looking for you to call me and ask if I am coming to your house for coffee. I look at the last picture that you gave all of us before you went home with the Lord; and I can see the happiness that you had in your heart. I find myself trying to keep busy just to keep from crying when I think about you. There is not a day that goes by that I don't see your vibrance in Sanai; I am trully glad that the Lord allowed you live for an additional two years so that you would be able to care and see the "Miracle" that the Lord blessed Zeborah and I with. While I wish your were here, I know that you are in a better place with the Lord, praising and giving Him glory. Thank you for what you have taught me over the years, they were lessons will learned. I will always miss you and I look forward to seeing you at "That Great, Getting Up Morning." I Love You Ma.

Aunt Shirley, I am so sorry that Mom and I were unable to see you before you went home to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but I feel very blessed for all the time I had with you when I was young and some when I was older. I also am honored to have you as my Aunt and am thankful today that you are no longer suffering in this world. I know you can see from above all the wonderful things that have happened for your family since your passing; your son-in-law Clint is just the absolute most wonderful person I have met in a very long time and I could see and feel the love and care he has for your precious Kim. To Pam, Jerome Tyrone, and Kim, God Bless You and Keep You in those days and times that you miss your Mom so much. Thanks to each of you collectively and individually for coming to see me and my Mom on our recent trip to Virginia, you will never know what that meant to both of us. God Bless and I'll see you again soon.

Grandma, I didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye to you, so I am glad to say it here. I knew you were going through some rough times, but I didn't think you would leave us this soon. Although I only knew you for five years, you were like my grandma. My grandparents passed away before I could meet them, but you were like the grandma I never had. I will never forget the first day I met you and all the advice you used to give me. You cared for me so much. After I had surgery you cared enough to look at my wound and help me with it. I know you are in a far better place but I hate to see you go, and I wish I could have known you longer. I wanted you to see me marry your grandson, and I wanted you to see your great grandchild. To the family, my heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. I hope you can overcome your sadness and one day be filled with joy.
I love you grandma and I will never forget you.

To my family...I love you as I loved grandma with all of my heart. I had a relationship with her that I did not have with my own grandparents. These times are not easy and some days harder than others. There are times, even today, that I lay in the bed or wake up in the mornings and cry because of missing grandma. If I go through times like these I can only imagine what you are going through. Just do not forget her strength and remember that her strength is also a part of you to go through whatever life brings. To my hubby, I see you everyday and I can look in your eyes and tell when you are hurting for grandma. Continue to cherish what see left with you, be happy for her healing and place of peace, and teach our baby girl what grandma taught you, so that grandma's strength and legacy will never die.
I love you family and every since I've met you I have always and always will continue to pray for you.

Mom, I truly miss you, I thought it would be easier to go on but it isn't. It's hard trying to hold everything and everyone the way you did, there will never be another you and no one not even me can be or do all did or be all that you've been to us all. God truly broke the mole when he made you. And I thank you, for all you've instilled in me to be who I am today. I love more than words can every say there isn't a day that goes by that I remember you, see your face, especially in Sanai or in the rest of the family. It's hard but I know I have no choice in moving forward its what you wanted us to do. May You continue to smile on us all as you sit with the Father in His Perfect Peace.
Love forever,
Kim

Grandma-Mom,
I have never thought the day would come when I would feel empty on the inside. My heart aches and the pain I feel can only be replaced by the return of you. You were the inspiration in all that I do. You were my greatest supporter and best friend. Now that you are gone, I am left with the feelings of pain and sorrow. I will continue to live not for you but because of you. There will never be another Shirley Perry, you were trully One Of A Kind. I Miss You Ma!!!

MOM,
You were my very best friend. I do not know how I am going to make it without you. This tribute is to you:
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say "Goodbye" you were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. Our hearts still ache with sadness, and secret tears still flow, what it meant to love you, No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.
Since you will never be forgotten, we pledge to you today, a hollow place within our hearts is where you will always stay. MOM I will always love you and miss you
Your Daughter.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have cross the bar.
your sis-tweety2u61
