I think of you everyday. I still want to laugh and talk with you and ask you questions I should have asked years ago and hear the answers to questions I ask still ask when I talk to you to this day. I think about how beautiful you are as I see you in my children and the lessons you´ve taught them. We talk about you and dad all the time.
I´ll miss you forever.
I´ll love you always.
My lady Devine.

I miss you every day. I wish I had done things differently but I just didn´t know. But... The Lord has spoken to me and he has given me peace. I love you forever, forever always.

You was good women to the family. You will be truly missed Great Auntie Luverna. ❤

Oh to adorn one of these is to assume the knowledge that she leaves

Moms hats were all over the church.
I'll start with saying how much Mom Loved her Family.. Dad -JC... he was her heart on the outside of her body, the love of her life.
She Unconditionally loved her children. All Her siblings, Aunt Ann and Uncle Bill. Mom and Bill spoke most everyday and they had a true loving friendship. She had a story for everyone of her brothers and sisters but I'll save that for another time also.
From her first born Faye to the last born Ty., all the way to the most recent born and unborn.
We can all say she raised most of us.
Some more than others but that's how she grew her wonderful garden.
She especially loved this church, Pastor Fort and his family, and how the church has rallied around us.
This church has filled moms heart over and over.
I know for sure this is the Grace that is extended from God through this garden of Believers here at The Word Church.
Pastor Fort..... what can I say to you? what can we do for you? We could never Bless you like God will. ......................................
Mom and Dad loved you and called you their Pastor and son. and They both worked until their days on earth was gone.
Mom, the name alone represents one of God's perfect creations.
It magnifies His glory throughout the world and in every nation.
It's A name we are fond of and quite familiar with.
We've laughed, we've loved and surly we've missed.
A name that transcends courage, and gives the hope we desire.
I believe we can all agree, that Lectured, conversation did inspire.
That name encourages the high road, when we are knocked down,
even though we'd prefer the low road, it helped us come around.
Yep that name can push those buttons that haven't been discovered.
But the lessons behind the scorn has helped us care for one another.
I don't know how they did it but somehow they were always teaching.
We must have heard their voice's while we were sleeping.
The teaching of responsibility, hard work, forgiveness and character.
There was not any judgment nor shaming, cause love was what mattered.
I know, and I've been told I've heard it's going to be tough
No matter how long or short the time, it's never long enough.
So Now I've stood on the shoulders and I now stand in the shoes.
It's my turn to walk in example and continue the spread of Good News.
On today we honor our Mom, My Angel" is the name Dad gave.
I Stand here humbled, And oh so grateful representing the Legacy she has made.

Amen....#9
