May God continue to bless the Sunbeamers of Mt Olive Baptist Church. "Train up a child" Proverbs 22:6. We thank God for allowing us to have fond memories watching the Meadows children growing up with firm foundations in the LORD. Trusting in Him, He's never failed us yet. May God comfort and strengthen you all. From the daughters of Willie Mae Addie Burton, Sharon Vann, and Beverly Burton Lee.

Rose, God bless you and your family. I will miss my friend. She was a wonderful woman of God. I was always impressed with her servant's heart and serving with excellentcy. I have to speak about her acting and multiple gifts--absolutely beautiful to see. She is, as the song says, "Over yonder, where Jesus is..." I'm sure it was a great reunion over there...Amen.

To the Meadows family: Our prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. May you find comfort in the memories of the love, laughter, family dinners and all of great times that God allowed you to share with Ernestine. God's word promises that when we are absent from the body we will be present with the Lord. I can just imagine that Ernestine is rejoicing all the love ones that have gone before. We will miss her sweet spirit here on this earth but we will see her again in heaven. It has been an honor to have known her for over 30 years. May the strength of God's word carry you during this hour of grief...

TO: Rose, Lulu Charles & Meadows Family, To send our deepest sympathy just doesn't seem like enough. I know how your grief must burden you, how this time must be so rough. but try to believe in your heart of hearts, that your pain won't last forever, that sadness will lighten a little each day, and you'll eventually feel much better. When that day comes, your memories will focus on the good, not the bad. Instead of feeling burdened by tears, you'll cherish the happy times you had. I know I will. All the good times..R.I.P... Ernestine.

To Rose, Curtis, Lou Lou & Charles:
It deepens me sadly to hear of the loss of my lifelong friend. I will miss her laugh and those big brown eyes. I will miss talking to her on the phone. Her suffering is now over and she has been chosen to reside with our Heavenly Father. I will always treasure all of our memories of Campbell, Norka and Howe Streets, and Lane School (where we met), Thornton Jr. HIgh and South High School. So sorry that I cannot be there with you all, but I send my heartfelt love and will keep you all in my prayers.
