I love and miss you momma more then words can say, even though its been almost a year it seems like yesterday. You were such a wonderful mother and person to all those who knew you. You were such an inspiration in my life as well as others. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the hands of time, I would do things so different. I would be a better daughter, but through it all you were such a meek and humble person you looked passed the faults of people and saw there needs. You were a Godly women, you had so much compassion on other people. I remember times when you were sick yourself you wanted to visit the sick or make sure somebody did if you couldn't. I can't really explain the hurt I feel. I think about you daily and most of the time I cry because I miss you so much. I think about the good times and bad. I know you would say don't cry or be sad because you are in heaven rejoicing and waiting on us to get there. Even though it hurts deeply because you're not here on earth, people say with time it will get better. When I get sad and can't hardly bare, I think about one of your favorite scriptures St John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled". I also think about some of the last words that I heard you say "Trust God and everything will be alright", she was talking to the whole family because she knew difficult times like this was coming. To my family and myself be encouraged, because thats what momma would want. I look forward to seeing her again one day. Love always Poochie

Over the course of my life God has blessed me with wonderful people to help me spritualy and mentaly. The most helpful person he gave me for a time was my mother. For well over 25 years she has done more than her motherly duties looking after me and praying for me when I couldn't rely on nobody else.It seems that a part of me left when you did Momma.But in that feeling , you have left so many good memories and advice that I can nearly hear your voice when I decide to make decisions. I will forever in this life miss you until we meet again. I can keep my head up because I know that you are up there in Heaven with no worries. To my family - may God keep us all through the love of Jesus and help us continue on as a family.

I love you momma more than words can say. I can see you in heaven praising God all day. I'll praise him here on earth like you taught me, until we meet again in eternity. You're the best mom ever, I won't stop loving you no not never. You were my best friend, a true friend indeed. You were always there in my time of need. So many memories I cherish from the start, you will always be in my heart. It was so hard to let you go, but you had an appointment with Jesus this I know. Let not your heart be troubled you would always say. I know I will see you in heaven one day. I can here you now saying don't cry be strong, Jesus is coming and it won't be long. When I get sad and want you here, I will reflect on the memories that are so dear. Well momma there is so much more that I can say. But I'll close with this you were a wonderful christian, wife, grandmother and mother. Like you there is no other. Love you momma always, poochie

Mom, I never thought of you not being here. I miss you so much, I know that God can keep us and give comfort, but it hurts so bad. I always tried to make you proud. I am very thankful that I have so much of you in me. Words could never express what I feel at this very moment, there is an empty space in my life. I will always remember the sacrificies you made for me and so many others. I thank God for giving me a mother that did the very best she could with what she had. May I walk in a way that is pleaseing to God so that I will see you again on the other side. Always in my heart...I Love you.

God blessed us with her presence here on earth, God used her as an instrument in all of our lives.
When she spoke you could hear God speaking through her, when you looked at her you could see the love of God through her eyes. She was a very talented, gifted, and spiritual woman. She will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as they always have been. Just remember there is always a rainbow after the rain. Just hold on to God and he will see you through all your pain.
I love you all!!!

Bishop Thompson,
I thank God for allowing me to know you and your dear wife. My time knowing her may have been short lived but the richness of her loving spirit is long lived within my heart forever. I am going to do what she would want me too, and that is to continue to pray and encourage you and your family while we wait to join her one day in our Father's house. God truly bless you and your family.

Bishop Thompson, Ingrid and family,
We are lifting you up in prayer during your season of sorrow. May God continue to strengthen you and keep holding you in the palms of His hands. We mourn, but not as those without hope. The joy is knowing your loved one is with our Lord Jesus, and she will not return to us, but we are preparing to go where she and all the saints who have gone before us are. The blessed assurance is knowing, they can't crown Him, until we get there! You all are loved and hold on to your faith!! Love you!! Ed-Max-Napoleon-Junaya and Family
