Our heartfelt sympathy is extended
to all of you at this time. Our shared
childhood memories from N street hold a
special place in my heart. May God forever bless each of you and always
remember "no one is dead until there
is no one left to speak her name" so
always speak of Dee Dee with love
and devotion.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the McCutchen Family... I don't know where to start... This hit me just as hard, because I have always look at Ms Dee Dee as if she was my mom. Matter fact my mom gave her the rights to check me at any giving time from the time I could walk until now... You will truly be missed....
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your/our memories bring you comfort.
Love always Lilmoma

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.

To the family,
Words can't express the sorrow I feel in the loss of your loved one. Viola was such a kind, loving and caring person. I will always fondly remember her and cherish the special times we shared. May God's unchanging love bless and keep you through this most difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dontae, words cannot express our feelings at the loss of your grandma. Remember that whatever you need "God's got it". The road will not be easy, But I don't believe she brought you this far to leave you. Stand on the Promises of God and you will get through this. We are here for you.
