To My Dear Grand Mother, Grandma this is the first time I have visited this page .Although you were my ROCK through out my life. It wasn't until the our roles reversed and I became your ROCK , did I realize what you truly meant to this WORLD . Grandma I miss you, I need to talk to you, I wanna hug you , cook for you , laugh and joke with you , I know its selfish of me to want these things , but I do ! Our talks were PRECIOUS , I learned how much of YOU was in me , you told me that you were an introvert, just as I am , and that's why you were involved in so many different things. I remember the secret you asked me to keep , and i have , lol juss between me you and GOD ! You told me that I can only repeat it to you, which means I have to wait until I get UP there with you. Well HOPEFULLY it will be a while. Because I have things to do down here, just as I did for you, I now so for my Mother . Thank You for ALL the lifes lessons , tell EVERYONE up there Shaun says hi , I'll be there in about 40 , or so years OK ..I LOVE YOU

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dear Kim:

On behalf of the City Joint Council No. 1 of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, New York, we extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your mother and our "sister".

As you know, Sister Queen Esther Woods was a very special sister to us all and, a "True Trailblazer" in every sense of the word. We will miss her beautiful smile, and her laughter, as well as the words of encouragement that she spoke to so many of us throughout the years!

Please know that in the divine wisdom of the Lord there are no mistakes. We know that Sister Queen Esther Woods is in a better place, where there is no more pain and the weary souls are at rest.

We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers and thoughts. May your faith, trust and hope in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be your comfort, your strength, and your protection throughout this very difficult time.

Kim, we love you!

Sincerely,
Sister Gwendolyn A. Clarke, Council President
Brother Herbert Reid, Council Vice President
