Not sure what to say?

To our McGriff cousins please know that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you and the love of will surround you. Aunt Mae will always be in our hearts and our thoughts.

As I sit here on the 46th Anniversary of my mother's homegoing and only a week after God called my baby to be with Him, I am trying hard to hold on. Auntee, I see your smile and hear your voice and somehow I know it will be alright. Your were one of my treasures who left glorious footprints on the trails of my life. From your precious milk that you nursed me on to your wonderful nurturing love that you so willingly shared with all of us, you were a beacon of light that shined so bright you...

To the family:
It's been almost 6 months since we last laid eyes upon our Mom. I am so thankful that she was chosen to be my 'mom'. She shared her wisdom and strength with all of us including the next couple of generations. It's now up to us to make sure her legacy will live forever. We must keep the faith and be good stewards of what she has left behind which is to love one another inspite of our faults.

Love always,
George & Helen

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your lovely face.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
He also knew you were strong and would fight to outlast the rain.
But God saw your road was getting rough and hills hard to climb.

God’s garden must be beautiful, he...

Dear Mom, It has been 45 days since you departed this life. I still pick up phone to call you everyday but now I have to use the phone in my heart. You are my angel in heaven and I know you are watching over me. Keep me strong, help me to live on and help to care for Yvonne. Yvonne is doing well and is missing you too. She always tell us "Mom wouldn't do this", "Mom wouldn't do that". She keeps us on our toes. All my love to you now and forever. Your babygirl, Necey

Dear Grandma,

I often cry myself to sleep at night, but the verse below helps me get through the night.

"Weeping may endure for a night,
joy will come in the morning.
Hold on to His unchanging hand,
a brand new day is to come.
I wont have to cry no more.
God's gonna wipe every tear away."

I love you
I miss you
I will always cherish you and keep you close to my heart
You taught me the true meaning of family
You...

Mom, Words can't explain how much we miss you. Keep watch over us so that we can continue your legacy. Help us to be as strong and wise as you. We will always need your guidance. Help us to love and trust GOD as you did. Help us to "not complain". We feel you in our hearts forever... Your babygirl, Earnestine and Family

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to past. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

Loving and missing you everyday.
