Deidra, I knew this day would come, but after the last time I saw your Mother at the hospital, I still said maybe they were wrong. I didn't know her for long, but I'm glad for the time that we did meet. She was so special with that bright smile. God "will" give you the strength you need day by day to see you through. May God bless you and your family. Brenda-Patient Service Representative, Leigh Emergency Dept.

"Ms. Barbara!" I loved DeShera and grew to love you also.

I am going to miss your beautiful smile and funny stories too. My condolences and prayers are with your family during their physical loss of you, but I rejoice about your spiritual gain. We all know that you are making room for us at the table so we can laugh and fellowship again there in Heaven....

Your smile and stories helped me make through many a night at QVC....the Circle of Friends won't be the same without you, for sure.

Thank you for sharing your life with me.

God Bless you and your family.

Deidra and Darius - First and foremost, to God be Glory and know that God makes no mistakes - his ways are not our ways and his plans are not our plans.
I was acquainted with your mother through TCC. She was always smiling and always helpful. My last conversation with her was one evening in the McArthur center parking lot. We had the most serious and the "funniest" conversation about being older students, life, people, personalities and ACCOUNTING. We laughed so hard that evening - your mom was such an inspiration and encouragement to me, at that time, and gave true meaning to the saying "laugh to keep from crying". We were two laughing sisters - I shall never forget her, that evening or the McArthur parking lot.
Pay tribute to your mother with LOVE, honor and respect - keep your family bond strong and stay focused. Your mother left you a legacy of strength, courage and determination. I know that your hearts are heavy right now - however JOY does come in the morning. Your mother has no more pain or suffering - REJOICE!!
SHE IS AT PEACE, RESTING!

To the Bazemore family, first let me say my thoughts and prayers are with you. I was deeply saddened to hear of Barbara's death. I will always remember calling "PI" (Product Information) at QVC and getting Barbara and we would joke about what those crazy questions the customer would ask. May God Bless you all and she will always live in our hearts forever.

Blessings,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
