Bernice, I think that the last time I saw you was at your home in Hookerton. Daddy, Mamie Lee, Jimmy and I went for a short visit. You showed us your Christmas table cloth. I thought that was a wonderful idea, having everyone sign it. I know your children, and grandchildren will cherish the thoughts that were written down and will remember the wonderful times that you all shared at Christmas. Thank you for coming to see us when Mama passed away. I know you all are having a grand reunion now. We all send our love and prayers to your family at this time of sorrow.
Love, Kenny and Sandra Jones Senter

Granny, I will always remember all the lessens you taught me as a child. I will remember all the times in the kitchen trying to be just like you. I will always look at Juicy Fruit gum and smile. I love you very much and will continue to keep you in my heart forever. We will be together again someday. Tell Granddaddy I love him too. I know that you two are having a great time together again. Tell Harold to behave himself, he's in God's presence now. I love you always!

Mama,I will miss you very much. You have always been the Wind Beneath My Wing as I were yours. Yes, you and daddy are together again, also with one of your children, Lenzia Harold, meaning joy. I beleive you all will be looking down upon this earth and keeping watch over all that has been left behind. I pray all can be
better for all here. I hope hearts and minds will be open and will be able to see beyond the cover of the book, see what is inside. You never said a prayer without asking God to Bless Everyone at the end, and May God Bless You for all you taught me as well as all others. Please do not forget to tell Daddy and Lenzia Harold I love them and miss them too. You had a lot to bear, but I will never regret being there for you, during all the pain, but we had a lot of laughs too. You were so strong through out it all,I know I have your strength and God will continue
to guide me thru the rest of my life. Do not forget our secret, especially our secret word. You fought the battle as long as you could, now you Go Rest High On That Mountain, you have earned it and more. Lisa,John and I will hold you in our hearts now and forever. I love you now and forever.
NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP,I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO KEEP. IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL TO TAKE. BLESS MAMA AND PAPA AND EVERYONE IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
Your ever lovins,
John,Daisy Lorraine & Lisa Anderson

God's Garden
God looked around the garden,
And found an empty space.

He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.

God's Garden must be beautiful
For He only takes the best.

He knew that you were weary, and
He knew you were in pain.

He knew that you would never be well on earth again.

He saw the roads were getting rough and the hills hard to climb.

So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine.
Love,
Heather
