December 10, 2009

To my Dear Niece, I will miss the fun and laughter that we shared. You have been an inspiration to more people than you know Erica. I have been uplifted with just the sight of family relatives and friends! I took it hard when you left us but I refuse to put a question mark where GOD has put a period. Obviously your work here on earth was done and the LORD wanted you all to HIMSELF. Just know that you were welled love by many, many, people and that GOD has directed the family to take care of the boys.
Nephews Aaron and Eric, your Mom has left you two with the tradition of spreading love wherever you go. Please continue to honor that traditon as she would want it that way. Also, know that GOD has the last word through all of this and Erica would not want you and your brother to suffer too long about her loss. Keep your heads up and know that you Mother would go to the ends of the earth for you two. So make her proud and be the men that she wanted.
Lastly Erica, while we moan, cry, and hurt for you, I can just hear you saying, "Oh no! I got to get out of here. This party is not "LIVE" enough for me!
Rest in Peace Dear niece and know that we all love you and eventually we be with you.

Your loving Auntee, Jerine

December 8, 2009

To the parents of Erica, Ms. Alfreida and Uncle T. Uncle T, you were like a brother to my dad and it was because of you and dad's bond I as a child was able to share some good times with Erica over my Granny's on the famous street of Fernwood. Not only did we play together as children, but we were able to go to the famous school, St. Theresa. Although I hadn't seen Erica for quite some time, whenever we did run into each other, we shared the memory of growing up in that corner house on Fernwood right next to Horse's store!!! Those were the good ole days that can never be replaced. Erica was a beautiful woman with lots of joy and life that she passed on to everyone that knew her. My heart is heavy to have lost such an inspirational and courageous young lady. To her children and family my prayers will remain lifted. To Alfreida, No one but God knows the depths of your pain. Lean on him and gather your strength for the rest of your days ahead. Uncle T, you said you hadn't gone through the hardest part yet. May the Lord comfort you and keep you so that you may find peace through him. To Eric and Aaron, remember that your mom loved laughter and joy. Keep that memory alive by the way that you live and conduct your lives. Delete the chaos that may arise and replace it with positivity in the remembrance of your mom. Lots of love from Charice Harold-Robinson, Kimberly Harold and the entire Harold family.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

How She Lived
Not how did she die, but how did she live? Not what did she gained, but what did she give? These are the units to measure the worth of a human being; a child of GOD’S. Not, what was her church, nor what was her creed? But did she befriend those really in need? Was she ever ready, with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear? Not what did they, or the sketch in the newspaper say, But, how many are here to say Good – bye as you pass this way.Rest my sister; we will miss you much. author unknown

Believers belong to the Lord in heaven.
Romans 14:8
If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
The death of a believer is precious to God. Dead to the world, is to live with Christ.
Remember that when you feel sorrow and grief. God is a comforter, He is our present help in our time of need! Anyone who reads this post,examine yourselves, are you ready if death knocks? Will there be a crown of Glory waiting for you? Saints lets keep the family, especially the children of Erica in prayer. Lets also make sure that our lives are an example of Christ.
Erica, you will be greatly missed, your smile and warm heart.Your memory will live on in your boys. A good mother is never forgotten and her teachings will not be in vain. Keep your heads up and be wise and be alert to the attack that the enemy has designed for your lives.
Give your lives to the Lord and let Him guide you and keep you. He will certainly protect His own! God Bless you and comfort you.
