My condolences to the Roquemore family. May the God of all comfort be with you. Psalms 83:18

May 31, 2015

To The Family,
Some would say it was her time to leave her earthly home. I would say that it is never time for a soul you care for and love so dearly and deeply
to depart from your physical present; nevertheless, it is the way of life, God's plan for all living things. Mrs. Christine Tookes Roquemore is a beautiful soul. I say "is" because that soul lives on in the many lives she has touched. Mrs. Roquemore earthly present will be missed, but soul and beautiful spirit will live on in the smiles, laughter, the love, the words of encouragement she shared with all of us. To the Family, please accept my heart felt condolences in losing the earthly present of your Mother. Amos Tookes, Jr.

I have found memories of "Ms. Roquemore" one of my fourth grade teachers at Magnolia Elementary. She was always smiling and laughing.
