To the Buford Family,
I am so sorry for your loss; however, your loss is God's gain. He decided that it was time to call home his angel that was loaned to us for a period of time. She completed her tasks and accomplished her goals; therefore her job is done. She provided us with words of encouragement that healed the soul. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to the entire family. She will never be forgotten and will always be remembered for her gentle heart and kindness.
Love,
LaKeydra Brown and Family

I still can’t believe you are gone. Every time I walk down the medical hall, I still look for your smile before turn the corner and head for work. But, alas, you’re no longer here. I just can’t believe it! You were a good friend and a wonderful listener. May you rest in peace now.

Beverly - I was truly saddened when I heard of your sister's passing. From the conversations we had about her - I know she was a Christian. Please find comfort that she is gone to be with her Heavenly Father. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

San, I'm gonna miss you girl! Thanks for the times we shared together and most of all for being my friend.

Thanks for taking out the time to talk with me about my salvation and having a real realtionship with the Lord. Thank you for being an example.

You loved God soo much and you wanted so much to please him.

You loved your children too and you wanted to make sure they had a relationship with the Lord as well. I love the fact that no matter what they did and no matter what they were into you never gave up on your children.

San, a lot of those things you didn't understand and a lot of those questions you couldn't get answers for isn't taht important now is it, because you're where you've always wanted to be, "with JESUS'.

As I write in your guest book this morning, tears are streaming down my face, not tears of saddness but tears of joy because you made it. For the 17 years I knew you, you prepared yourself to get out of here because you knew there was a mansion waiting for you that you didn't have to go out and find or pay a mortage on, wings that you didn't need a car to get around in, a brand new body that wouldn't get sick or wouldn't break down and most importantly now, you can dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance dance before the throne in the Holy of Holies all day long before Father without any problems at all.

WOW! I know that there is no such thing as a Holy envy but since you've been gone my Spirit man is longing to be with Father because I know you're in his presence.

So long my friend, I'll see you when I see you.
