In Loving Memory of ReRe.
ReRe it has been 1 year since you left us,
Confused with questions, feeling a loss and experiencing disgust.
Why did you have to go? Why didn't you say good-bye? Were you in any pain? Why did you have to die?
The scripture declares that To Die Is To Gain, yet my heart was heavy then,
But I look at our childhood pictures, and I remember when . . .
The 'good olde' days is what we called them , when life was easy and carefree!
We knew how to Live and have fun. We just didn't know how the end would be.
We were more like sisters than cousins. We shared our inner thoughts.
And when I got ready to go away to college, I remember the things that you brought.
Yeah Re I miss ya, and I miss all the fun times we once shared,
But now you're safe In His Arms, without a worry, without a care.
Tell Sister, Joe, Grandma, Big Ma, Auntie, . . . I said Hello, and Ill see them oneday on high,
Oneday in that great place called The Sweet By And By.

Ree Ree, my dearest friend for over 30+ years. We laughed, cried, played and even argued together and now you are resting in the presence of the Lord. Mona and I will always love you and we'll miss your smiling face. Our hearts are heavy, but our spirit is well because I know you are at peace. Tesha and Mookie she loved you guys more than life itself and I pray you will always cherish the good memories she left behind.

Dayon, Tre'John, Teisha, & Mookie,
Words can't explain the pain, hurt, and loneliness you will feel without your mother and grandmother, but know that she is with God and that he will take good care of her! Everytime I saw her she had a smile on her face and that's how I will remember her. Dayon & Tre if ya'll need anything know that your big cousin got you, and the same goes for you too Teisha. You all are in my prayers.
With Deepest Condolences,
Angel & KeTwan

To my benevolent sister in Christ and friend of 21 years,whom I will miss deeply. It hurts me to know that we will not grow old together gracefully. It will not be the same picking up phone to call you for a word of pray. Iretha would often say "Our lives have been predestine by God and only he knows when our time to part has come". With that being said, I thank God for placing sister Iretha in my path for the time i've gotten to know her. She has been a blessing to me and my family and for that I thank God. She will be forever missed.
To : Letisha and Lee Jr, I can only pray that Gods grace covers and keep you and your families under his arms.
love ya Aunt Kim.

T, Mookie, Charlene and Joe Zippy,
Now is the time for us to bind together, to get through this time of grieving. ReRe was my cousin, but she was more like a sister to me. I still can't fathom the idea that she is gone! Love You Always.
