I love you maw maw more than anything in this world! You were the most beautiful woman I knew inside and out. You molded me into the young lady I am today and showed me what real love was. I hope I made you proud while you were here with me and I hope while you're looking down from heaven I make you proud everyday. I love you so much and I promise I will take care of mommy and pawpaw. I have been in your house since you entered Gods and everything here brings a memory of you to my mind. My heart aches that you are no longer here on this earth but I know you are in heaven just waiting to see us all again. <33 I love you and can't wait to see my precious mawmaw again. Love

To my dearest Mawmaw,
I hurt for me, not for you. I miss you so much already, it just doesnt seem real. I miss your smile, your hugs, your kisses, your smell, your laugh, and even miss when the boys cry i miss when you ask "Nikki what did you do?" This is the hardest thing, saying goodbye, but i know its just a "see you later" and we'll meet again one day. The boys love you so so much, and i know you loved them like no other. Don't worry, Mike and I, along with everyone else will take care of them, and will never let them forget how wnderful you were. It hurts so bad knowing you wont be home when i call, or be at the store when i go by, and Alex and I can't fight over the banana pudding anymore either. Just watch over all of us and steer us in the right direction on how to get thru this, because we know you dont want us crying, but rejoicing. Mikie asked if you had your cell phone in your pocket, and Jakie prayed you wouldnt get hurt in heaven. I'll carry you with me thru the rest of school, and you will be by myside at my pinning. I still can feel you so I know you aren't far. I love you so much mawmaw, it's never gonna be the same.
I love you "for never n never" mawmaw

To Nikki, I am here if you need to talk or just to have a shoulder to lean on. I know what you are going through. The hurt may seem unbearable and the tears may seem as though they will never stop falling, but I can assure you it will ease and get better as time go on. So for now take all the time you need to grieve and don't let no one tell you to stop until you have come to understand that she is alright now. I know that your Maw-Maw really loved you and those boys and she still do, so see you will always have that to hold on to and keep in your heart.
I am here for you and the boys.
Love,
Angelia Ferrell-Sanders and boys and the Harris Family.

To Mr Thurman, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Mrs.Jean as I would call her, was a wonderful and beautiful lady. I am still in shock. I know that she has gone to a better and lovely place and I believe in my heart that she is up in heaven rejoicing with my granny Mrs.Harris and my mother Rosa and all of the other love ones that has gone on to heaven. I will continue to lift you and the family up in prayer. Please if there is anything I can do or my family can do please don't hesitate to ask, I really do mean that. You and Mrs.Jean have always been here for me and my family so I want to be here for you and your family. May God Bless each of you now and all the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.
Love,
Angelia Ferrell-Sanders and the Harris family.

We are so deeply sorry for the Crowder family and extend our deepest, most sincere condolences to you all. As Lisa's sister and Mark's sister-in-law Mrs. Crowder has been a large part of our family for more than 27 years. She was always kind and genuine with us as we all moved through our lives...for me from childhood to adulthood. There has not been a special milestone or special occassion that she had not attended; from graduations to marriages. Please know that we feel for everyone in her family and express special love and support to Lisa, Mark, Nikki, Shannon, Michael, Michael Jr. and Jacob.
With Love, Aunt Carol and Uncle D

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
