Our Dearest Cousins Seralda and Doretha,
We were so blessed to have Aunt Lois with us for ninety-six years. As we celebrate your mother's life in her Homegoing Sevice, may these words of Helen Steiner Rice, "God did not promise sun without rain, light without darkness, or joy without pain. He only promised strength for the day..." bring you comfort and peace.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers not only today but in the days and weeks to come.

My Queen, friend and my extra momma, I loved you Ms. Delores. As caregivers we are taught not to get attached. I broke the code. Your kind, gentle and no nonsense demeanor made it easy to cherish our memorable times together. My Mama and you are two of the strongest Queens I've ever known. As I told you Doretha, Serelda and me are going to be okay. Go to heaven in peace.

Rest easy Ms. Delores

Delores was a sweet, kind and lovely person. I worked with her at APG and served with her as a volunteer at APGFCU. We even exercised together. Her sweet quiet spirit will be missed. May the Lord bless and keep her family, Numbers 6:24-26.
