Wanda I know that words are empty to you right now but know that God had plans for you and your Mom. It's good to know God for yourself. Then times like these are easier to cope with. Your Mom truly transitioned from labor to reward without a whisper. She knew what time to get to the Jordan River to catch the ship Zion. She did it with grace and dignity. She will be missed and her memories will outlive you and so many others that loved her dearly. Hopefully, she will see my Mom and she will let her know what a wonderful time she has had since she arrived in the kingdom. Glory Halleluia when that old ship from Zion arrives and she gets off. No more pain and suffering, just Joy, Unspeakable Joy! My prayers are with you and your family. May God continue to bless each of you!

My grandmother was a blessing to everyone that was around her. She will truly be missed. We understand the purpose of mourning, but we shall not forget to celebrate her life. For now she is home, amongst God's children, friends that she have longed to see... in the Gates of Heaven protected by God's Angels.....
Dear Reava... Thank you for everything you taught me and still continue to teach me... I will never forget what you told me over Christmas 3 years ago.. thank you for your words of wisdom... I love you

Mom,
Your courageous battle against illness and infirmity is now over,
God in is infinite wisdom and un-surpassing grace
called you home to his mansion in the sky.
“Well done faithful servant” he whispered as you took your early morning flight. Angels of peaceful transformation,were dispatched to guide you to your new home on high.
Anew in glory you know reside.
Loved ones long passed are at your side. Oh, what a glorious celebration of your life; over there where pain and suffering cease to exist, and smiles and sunshine are forever more.
Love,
Your daughter
