We send prayers and sympathy for the Davis from the Greene family. We were truly saddened to learn that Latasha and her kids had passed on to Glory. We must remember that they are in a far better place right now. We know that these are really tough times for the Davis family right now but we ask that you continue to trust in the Lord and pray continuously to Jesus and he will surely see you through it all. May God continue to bless all of you? You have our prayers, love, and sympathy.

Very respectfully,

I SEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY AND TO THE FATHER AND FIANCEE. I SAW JAZMINE EVERY DAY AT SCHOOL AND EVERY MORNING I WOULD SAY TO HER GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL AND SHE WOULD SAY IN A SOFT VOICE GOOD MOORNING MS. SCOTT. I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS SAD EXPERIENCE TO NEVER TAKE FOR GRANTED THESE BLESSINGS THAT GOD GRANTS US EVERY DAY.SEEING THE CHILDREN AND GREETING THEM IN THE MORNING AND HAVING THEM RETURN THE GREETING GETS MY DAY GOING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET THEM FROM THOSE OF JAZMINES CHARACTER. I HAVE HAD THIS TRAGEDY ON MY MIND SINCE I HEARD AND AM SADDENED AS IF SHE WE PART OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND HAVE CRIED AS IF SO.I WILL MISS HER SMILE AND KNOW THAT SHE WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED BY THE STAFF AT DONAHOE.

I am very saddened this had to happen to such a sweet family. It seems like just yesterday I texted Tasha and asked her will be she be joining some of the board members and team moms for a girls nite out and she was one of the first to respond to my text.

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.

October 25, 2009

Words sometimes seem inadequate in times like these. The loss of a love one is the most difficult challenge life puts upon us and to lose three at one time seems most insurmountable. I can only submit to the the family and loved ones of these that have gone, that in time you will come to know that life has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal if you would allow. It will take time but just know that through it all lean on His everlasting arms and He will take you through this dark valley. May God's love and peace bring you comfort in the coming days.
