Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

From Wilma Lee (Roach) Fuller and Family:

We have known "Miss Pearl" for many years. Though I now live in Richmond, VA with LaToria and Michelle, I still remember the years we worked together at Magnolia Manor and the friedship we shared.

My children and I celebrate the wonderful life she lived and the marvelous legacy she nowleaves. May God bless the family of "Miss Pearl" and always remember her smile and laughter.

We cannot attend the service this Saturday but our hearts and prayers will be with you.

With Love,
Wilma Lee (Roach) Fuller, LaToria Tookes, Lea Michelle McCormick, and James Hunt, Jr.

To the Family,
Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for you. We know that the earth is the Lord and the fulless thereof. I pray for your strength today and for the days ahead. Lean not to your own understanding but let us trust in the LORD. He is too just to make a mistake.
Sleep on Mama Pearl...one day we will see you again.
I love you and you will always be my family.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
