Aunt Chuck
Words cannot explain how much you will be missed by Tesha and I. We could always count on you for a kind smile, a good laugh, or just an offer of a peice of cake, candy or something good to eat. I Thank God for you and your kind, humble ways and I will never forget the times we shared. Although it was hard to hear the word of your passing I know that you are in no more pain and that all of our family members who left before you are surrounding you with love.
Our Love to you always
Fay and Tesha

Dear Fairbanks & family,
I remember your mother from visiting your home on Grayland Ave. She was always nice and I admired her gentle, easy going nature. She was like that whenever I saw her as we got older and became adults ourselves.
I pray God's peace upon you,that his love comforts you and that his power girds you up.
Blessings

To My Loving Mother,Words can not express the day God took you away,no more suffering no more pain. What an angel you were. I will miss you for the rest of my life. Mom you were my best friend. It was a joy to walk in your front door and see you walking around. You told me I will know when the fight is over. Now I know your fight is over and I will stand tall and keep going.

Momma

How do I say goodbye to such a large part of my heart. I won't. I know that I will see my beautiful momma again, but right now God has called you home and I know that you are smiling down on us. I miss you so much and I love you momma. Rest now because all the pain and illness no longer exist. I hope that I am half the mother for my children and grandchildren that you were for us. You are my angel.

You're always looking for that one special person. You ask
yourself will you ever find that special one. When you do you'll
never want to let go of them. You are always looking for a person
you can trust and that has respect for you.
When you ask them a question you'd always want their honest
answer. You would want them to be your best friend. You would want
them to listen to your every problem. You would also hope for them
to be there for you when you're upset and something is terribly wrong.
I have a special person. She'll give you all of her love from
the start and will talk to you about anything. She'll also do all
the above. This great lady I am proud to say she is my Granny. If
she were here right now I would tell her I have a problem. The
problem is that you're gone.
Because of death doesn't the word goodbye make me sick. That's
the least liked word I want to hear when a loved one has passed away.
Goodbye you're alway's going through life saying goodbye to the ones
you cherish and love. Even though you're not ready to say goodbye it
doesn't matter. You can't change the fact the one you love is gone.
Just three words you want say to them before they're gone. I
wish I was there to see my Granny before she had left me. Even
though she's gone I can tell her trough my heart. I shall tell
through God and my heart. In the name of the Father and of the Son
and the Holy Spirt Amen. Granny I give you the three most important
words I can give. They are "I Love You"


Love You Always Granny,
Kischa, Jerome, KeAzha & Kemauri
