This is the Sabbath Day and my throughts are on you, and how you taught the classes.
Mother I will never forget you, you were always there for me even as a child, I want to be a good teacher, to be able to listen to what the children need and how I can help them getting a better and closer relation with Jesus Christ.
All I want is God to use me to the fullness, so maybe some person might have a chance at every lasting life in Christ Jesus like you and my momma and so many others who went on in Christ Jesus.
Thank you so much for helping me to be a sabbath school teacher.

You will truly be missed. Your warm smile, loving hugs and words of wisdom will forever ring in my heart and mind. I am glad I got the chance to thank you and say I love you. I can grieve a little lighter to know that you died in the Lord. I pray that the Lord will keep your family's hearts and minds and ease every pain in their hearts because they have truly lost something GREAT!!!

God of all consolation in your unending love and mercy for us, you turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life. Show compassion to your people in sorrow. Be our refuge and our strength to lift us from the darkness of this grief to presence. We ask this through Christ Jesus , Our Lord and Savior. I will remember all the time we spend together from the age 8yrs until 41yrs. I WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS AND WILL LOVE YOU!!!

Aunt Eunice:
You have always been my idol and mentor, thou I have not completely followed in your foot steps, I try to stay close behind. I am so sorry I did not spend more of my adult life around and with you, but you have always been in my thoughts. You are the best. When you see my dad, Uncle Garland, and Aunt Estelle give them all a great big kiss for me for I miss you all. I know you are walking around heaven singing and praising, can't wait to meet you there.
Love you always,
