To the Prout and Marbley Family,
You have my deepest sympathies and you are in my prayers. Please accept this poem from my heart to you:
-We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

To Uncle Ernest, Diana and the rest of the family. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thy own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths." You are in my prayers. Nan was a beautiful person and had a beautiful spirit. I recall all the times I was at her house eating all that good food. Love you all.

Uncle Ernest & Cousin Diana,

I was just going through Aunt Tee Audrey's text messages to me (from planning the family reunion) and I smiled... Aunt Tee Audrey was a sweetheart!... Even though we know someone is going to a better place, it still hurts so much to live without them actually here on earth with us... Take it one day at a time and take each second of each day with Jesus at your side!... Remember that LOVE transcends time and space!... Aunt Tee Audrey's spirit is still available to us through prayer....I love you both!... Diana, I miss your hugs!!!.... Praying for you both and our family.

Love Always,
-Akeia Brooks
