Remembering maya Angelou and bob McGrath

". . .damn strong woman - admirably stronger than strength."
RIP you're a guide and inspiration, gone but will never be forgotten just like the people you walked with - from Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Oprah, - Mandela and many more.

Maya Angelou... you were an American treasure. You brought the beauty of your poetry to all the world and for that we are grateful. It knew no color....just the beauty of humanity. For that....We thank you. Rest easy and peacefully.

You are the Sunshine of our life.

YOU WERE DEFINETLY ONE OF A KIND, HEART, BODY, SOUL, AND MIND, AND YOU WILL BE REMEMERED ALWAYS BY THE BEAUTIFUL LEGACY YOU LEFT BEHIND.

NEVER GONE, NEVER WILL BE FORGOTTEN

REST IN GOD'S LOVING ARMS DEAR ONE.


You have gone where the angles sing,
where the light will always shine on
your face, you have gone to that beautiful place where you will always be in God's
Amazing Grace.

In God's arms you can always smile,and
have His unconditional love, and where you
will always be at peace with Him up above.
You will be missed, but I know that you will
always be okay, and your smile will forever live
In our hearts everyday.
