Dear Children,
I admire the way your mother lived her life and the light she brought to others. Her warmth and presence will be missed and can never be replaced. Don't think of her as gone away. Her journey has just begun. Life holds many facets, the earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears. In a place of warmth and comfort. Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. Think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much.

Family, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy to the family. I am saddened by the sudden passing of Mama Jerri. She was truly a Woman of God with such a beautiful spirit. She was loved, respected, and admired by many. She has been an inspiration to me and my family. Memories of her will be forever treasured in our hearts until the end of time. Family continue to stay strong in the Lord.

A Message to Mama......
Hello Mama,
Through your daughter Lea Ethel for about 26 or more years my family has known you and your family. You have been a blessing to us in many ways, especially the times you spoke wisdom and direction into our lives. Although God has called his angel home you will always be remembered here on earth as one of his bighearted servants with the beautiful smile who welcomed anyone into her home and then cooked for them. Now that God has welcomed you home, the Bond family just want to acknowledge that your spirit will continue to live in the many souls you touched on earth. ❤ Always!!
