Tangela, As we face different situations, we can remember that God is sovereign over both the blessings and the troubles that come our way..He desires to use everything to build our character..He uses both good and bad to transform us to guide us on our journey..In a world full of fear, we know that Jesus came to be Prince of Peace, we desperately need His peace; As we look to Him, He will ease our fears and calm our hearts..God Bless you and your family ALWAYS..This is only the beginning my sweet Sister in Christ, 1 Corinthians 8:9 But as it is wrtten: "Eye have not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love Him..Jesus takes us as we are and makes us what we should be..This is your GREATEST Year!!! Love Always+++

Look After Your Sister and Watch Over Your Mother and Remaining Sisters!!! R.I.P Derrick!!!

sincerely your mother

January 13, 2014

Hey its your mother, i don't know where or how to start this conversation, but know my heart is invisible..how could this be...Derrick and Kayla...shaking my head...but praising my God. On Friday, 1/23/2009 God looked upon his garden and was in need of a lovely flower that would blossom bright as the sun and that was you Derrick, my heart at that time was short a beat...but God kept me. On Friday, 11/15/2013 God looked upon his angels and needed someone that was ambitious, loyalty and big-headed...he took Kayla upon his wings...now my heart is beat-less..God continue to keep me. I cant explain in words on how i truly miss you guys...Derrick you are older but not bigger...so even though Kayla is your littler-big sister help her around in God"s kingdom..she think she knows it all..(smiling). My Job here on earth is to keep your names alive..that's my call from God...so that means i will need my helping wings to carry me the way. You guys are gone from earth but never my heart,presence,soul,sight,nor my mind. God definitely had better plan for us!!!! Im pretty sure you guys meet the rest of the family..tell them i love them and miss them dearly. Derrick get the family together and stop by when we are gathering here on earth;)...i love you guys!
