Bertha Lee Knighton

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...

To my Sisters: Johnetta Nelson, Zulieka Knighton and Leona Knighton, and to my aunt Aunt Daisy Rowe, and my favorite Uncle Leroy Johnson I will continue to pray and love you not during this time but forever and always. Sincerely from your Sister and your neice, Ziva Simone Gardener

Dear Knighton and Johnson Families,

My heart is so full right now as I have finsihed services for my sister Fern, too! Please forgive me for being in this daze. I am so sorry I could not attend, and be at your side! I want you to know that I love you all!

You will be in my prayers, and God will get us all through these tough times.

Your cousin,
(Aunt John's daughter)

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand.May God grant you peace during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Family:

We are God's children and we are chosen to shine a bright light in every dark place where there is sadness and pain, there is no marked shame.

We smile on the unfortunate ones upon this earth, with humility and grace. We reflect HIS essence with our every stand and with our strong working hands.

We know that HE is in us and that HE answers our call with HIS love on demand. And when our bodies are tired and worn, and our spirit is...

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
