To Rosalyn, Jennie and Angelica,
I know that your miss your mom dearly and there are times when I think about the last time I saw her. She always greeted me with a smile and a hug. She always made people feel welcome and although she is not here in the physical sense remember that her spirit surrounds you daily. She is resting in the arms of Our Heavenly Father looking down on her girls and family. All is well with her soul. Embrace each other, love each other and be there for each other as Aunt Wanda would want you to do. For in due time we shall all see our loves one again. I continue to pray for ya'll and if you ever need me I am here for you. Love you always! RIP Aunt Wanda. P.S. Aunt Wanda and Aunt Margaret are watching over us as a family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To all my nieces, I love you, and I will always be there for you. I grieve with you in the lost of your mother, and you have my deepest sympathy. I feel your pain, but God will make each day a little better for you. He will be there when no one else is around, all you have to do is call out to him.
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
Wanda is safe in God's arms, and just be thankful for the time you had with her, knowing what she was going through each day. I thank God for her, if it had not have been for her birthing you all, I wouldn't have the sweet and loving nieces that I have.
As you move forward, remember to always keep God first, and give him some time. Study the word, and he will direct your path.
Love you, and I am only a phone call, text, or e-mail away. You know I got your back.
Marynell Holloway-Cheathem (Aunt Pet)
Love you all, and I am only a phone call way, I will be right there for you.
