My dear family,
Words cannot express the lost of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She had so much love and wisdom to give all of us. We always had a roof over our head and food to eat, her home was a safe haven. She (and Aunt Alberta)was the peace maker in the family. One thing they've always wanted us to do was to love one another and look out for each other. Its been a rough year for our family, 3 deaths in 7 mos., all of whom was very dear to me. I only pray that we can live up to their expectations. Be strong and keep in touch with each other, help each other when we fall. We have 3 guardian angels watching over us.
I miss them so much but God had other plans for them.

My dearest family
In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the Sturdivant Family,
May God Bless you through your loss but remember God is your strength. He makes no mistakes he want his angels too. It's ok to shed some tears and believe me there will be many but thank God for the years he loan her to you all and treasure them until you see her again. Pray without ceasing, God Bless.

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.

To Queenie & the Sturdivant family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of your mother. For we know that those of us that die in the Lord is present with Him. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. We are praying for your strength. She lived a good and prosperous life. Hold your heads up and be ye lifted up.
