I was scanning my late email on today & had received a reminder "remembering Ollie Ambrose." My blessing of an outstanding memory for my age remains durable after being gifted with it during birth. I´d never forget the wonderful three scores and ten years that God gave me being raised as a child by my mom and later viewing her as a role model for my portrayal to carry out in life. Our use to be times are lonelier, yet MAMA is truly missed especially her smiles & laughter even though I caused her frowns too. RIP!

We share a bond that will Always be remembered and Never Forgotten.. Rest Well "Mama Ollie" Love You Always Madeline-Parker Ambrose

6 months ago, I had a dream that almost felt like sleep paralysis but different. I could hear Jonathan walk in the room, put on his clothes and then his belt. In this strange awakened like dream I saw Grandma Ollie wondering in the night. I went up to her, bent down to make eye contact and I told her she didn´t have to hold on for me and that I will be ok. It felt so real. I fought myself to come out of it and just as I heard so clearly while dreaming Jonathan confirmed he had just walked in the room, put on clothes and his belt. Later that day while on their way out to the casino, mom and Grandma Ollie decided to come to my room to bother me as usual. When Grandma Ollie saw me she lit up. It was as if she was just seeing me for the first time since moving in 2 years prior. She told me how happy she was to see me and how she could just hug me. It was so awkward for me as I wondered who does grandma think I am now. I played along as I learned to do so well but as she was leaving out the room she stated, "I will see you in my dreams". For the entire two years of living with me, Grandma Ollie never knew who I was. No matter how much we all would try to get her to remember for a sense of comfort, she would forget the very next day. But somehow after seeing her in a strange awakened dream that morning not only did she know me but she later told me my name was Stephanie Dupre, a name I have never heard her call me in my 42 years of living.
I haven´t had any dreams of you since that day. Things like this are hard for me for I fear things I don´t understand, but on today I say the same prayer that I said 14 years ago when I feared the signs that something major was about to happen in my life and it resulted in Albert dying. Today I say again, LET WHATEVER THAT IS IN GOD´S WILL BE DONE.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. -Psalm 23:4
Grandma I am ready to see you my dreams. -Possy

She is my NanNan! Always classy and ready for any occasion. She was ready to speak proudly of her family, and would often host the family for the holiday. She is loved. God bless her, Grandma Lena, and everybody´s Lillie. God has great company!

The Bible says to honor your mother and father so that your days will be longer on the land. To my best friend and mom, I know you honored your parents since God´s words prevailed you into longevity. I love you more than words can say and my heart is so heavy with grief but we all knew you were tired and God said it was your time. I hope & pray we be together again in HEAVEN when God call me home.
