To My Family! I thank God today for allowing us to have one of His " Roses" for 88 years. She was the "Matriarch" of our family and everyone grew up in "Big Momma's" house. Let us not forget all the love and good times we've shared with her. As the Gardener has come and prune our family bush, let us not say "goodbye" but "see-you-later Big Momma." We love you so much but God loves and knows what's best.

Edward,Jean and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this difficult time. Proverbs 3:5-6, tells us to trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge him and he will direct our path. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

We will always love Mariam but God loved her best.

To my nieces, nephews and family,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal! May God grant his peace as we prepare to walk the last mile with our loved one. Remember as we walk this busy road in life God will never leave us nor forsake us if we only trust him! Be encouraged and know that you are loved! Auntie Jean Wilson

To my family,
May God comfort you and give you peace like a river. God will never bring you to something and not carry you through it! I will cherish the memories and words of wisdom shared with my auntie! Well done thou faithful servant! Now you can rest! Love always,
your neice Elonda Dozier.
