Over 3 years later, and I find the time and space without you is still unbearable. I have since had 3 grand-babies and still have a void in my heart for you. I never imagined my life without you and everyday I struggle to because my heart is looking for you and my mind cant comprehend your absence. You were my other mother, my best friend, my voice of reasoning and the reason why I treat every older person I encounter, like a grandparent. You taught me new things, showed me new things and let me know that I was loved even when it was hard for me to understand how I could be. Next to God, you were my earthly peace. You gave me hope and I miss you most when Im feeling sad or misplaced because you always made me feel like I belonged. I miss you so much Ma. I miss you so much. I will be so grateful to see you on the other side of Heaven. Love always, like I know you will, your Oldest grand daughter. Alia

Ms. Eastern was my kindergarten teacher at U.S. Grant Elementary back in 1990-91. It must have been truly inspiring to her certainly to know that children she taught decades ago still remember her name. She was a beautiful person and will remain eternally so.

Our condolences to The Eastern Family. Life is the greatest gift God has given us. Death is only a bridge toward enteral life with God. Certainly heaven is rejoicing for another soul has finally reached her true home. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.. Praying for the Family.
