Well, last night I had a wonderful dream. Your presence visited me. I heard your voice remind me to have a happy birthday and you told me you loved me. It was so beautiful. I'm moving on. You did a wonderful job raising us and taught me well. RIP you earned it. You are now united with the love of your life, daddy, the only one you said would be for you. (Willie) and your songbird daughter, Carolyn.

Moma I'm speechless. There's no other way I can express my feelings right now. I went by the house Sunday after church and you were not there and I was like Moma you have really gone on to a better place. I have had many restless nights since you left us but one day, I'm sure things will get better. R.I.P. Love you always, Sharon

To Sharon and the family,
The Garth family wishes to extend our sincere sympathy to you all. We will certainly miss this loving, caring, and giving "mother" of Bethlehem M.B. Church. She was so proud of her children and especially the grandchildren; always hugging and praising them, for their educational accomplishments, when they were acknowledged at church. Mother Beattie will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and how she was so eloguently dressed, from head to toe, each Sunday. She was such an inspiration to so many of us.
MAY GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!!
