42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:42-44 NIV

Sis you will forever be loved, you hold a special place in my heart. Missing you today and always. Gone one year today.

My Cousin Tit. When I got the word about your passing it hit me hard. I never thought about you leaving us so soon. You left us way too soon to us, but right on time to our God. I know He makes no mistakes. Its breaking me down that I can't come to your final arrangements just to be there in support with my cousins. I am going to miss you girl. I am already missing you. I love you Tit and I will love you until the day I die.

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

Lawrence, Darryl, Kevin, Reynolds and Riley family. May the Lord bless and comfort you during this trying time. I was so shocked to learn of Gwen's death. Gwen was a loving, caring person who loved hard and cared for so many. I am so grateful to God for allowing Lawrence and Gwen to visit and spend some time with us last year. I was looking at my Redbud trees which are now in bloom. They were in bloom when Gwen was visiting. They will be a constant reminder of Gwen. Gwen will be missed by so many. Rest on Sis.
