To Jimmie's family,
I am cousin Jackie from Columbus, OH. My mom, Josephine Jennings and I were in Atlanta in August. I was able to visit cousin Jimmie in the hospital and pray with him. He had a sweet spirit. You are in our prayers and will continue to keep your family in prayer during this difficult time. Hopefully, we will be able to meet our other cousins some time later next year.

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well

Daddy's wonderful legacy
There is a wonderful legacy of which I wish to tell about a wonderful man that we loved so well
His strength lives within us and grows
stronger each day his honor still lingers though his life has slipped
away I miss the sound of his laughter
and his stern lectures too!
I miss hearing him say I love you he
fought a GOOD BATTLE then gave up the
fight to rest in the arms of JESUS
What a beautiful sight in our hearts
his memory will always stay
nothing could ever take his remembrance away
love U dad.
Undra and Vickey Fletcher

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Words cannot explain
how much you mean to me
nothing could ever compare
or even ever be
you're my papa, my own and only
you're my leaning post
although I love my family
you're the one I love most
even though you may be leaving
you'll still be in my heart
you'll always be real close
even though we're far apart
while you're in heaven, please watch over me
and help me as I grow
you have taught me so much
but there is still so much more to know
I'm not going to say good-bye
or that I can't go on
I'll say I love you, and see you later
even though you're gone
I love you papa, more than you'll ever know
I know you'll be in heaven as a shining star
no matter how far away you seem
heaven is never too far
