Anna Wimberly Obituary
WIMBERLY, Mother Anna
At the age of 74, passed from her earthly life and entered into blessed eternal victory on March 17, 2008. Although her final years were affected by multiple debilitating illnesses, she lived a victorious life surrounded by family and friends. She was born on February 20, 1934 to William and Anna B. Holt in Rockford, Illinois. While living in Rockford, Illinois she answered the call of God and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She eventually relocated to Sacramento, California, where she found her home at North Highlands Community, COGIC and continued in her calling of teaching and encouraging the next generation of God's soldiers. She often said that if she could only share the message of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ she would be greatly satisfied. Mother Anna Wimberly leaves behind a host of relatives and friends to celebrate the beauty of her life. Memorial Service at North Highlands Community COGIC, 3756 Myrtle Ave., on Monday, March 24th at 11:00am.

Mom it's hard to accept that your not here and I truly miss you so much, sometimes i don't know if I'm going to make it.
I just want to close myself up in my room and forget about the world and everything in it, but I know that's not the right thing to do and your words are deeply inplanted in my heart. It's just that i feel so alone because you and Janice done left me.
Mom i really really really Love and miss you.

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mrs. Wimberly. It was a privilege for me to be her doctor. No matter how much trouble she was having she always managed to brighten my day. The courage with which she faced her illnesses was an inspiration and I will truly miss seeing her.

To my family:
I would like to share with you a poem that mom loved.
It's called a word of Encouragement DON'T QUIT = Because we all know that mom love giving words of encouragement to every one.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, And every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out, Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick in the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, That you must not quit.
It has been very hard for me to deal with both mom and janice death.
So I'm wipeing my tears and holding my head up high because I'm Not going to QUIT !!!!

Cheryl,
When burdens seem to multiply becoming so heavy your heart and soul starts to cry, stop, sit, and reflect. Do not let your heart or your soul grieve with that burden anymore.
Take first the things you give thanks for- daily blessings received, joys of sweet memories, each, which make your soul and heart, smile. Appreciate each quietly for a while.
Reach out and gently add your burdens one by one. Let your joys and blessings tenderly soften their edges, removing the wedges of pain, healing and making you whole again.
As it is lived, life always remains unfinished. God patiently reminds us quietly not to diminish His gift, to keep it as a whole not broken into separate pieces of joys, blessings, burdens, and sorrows.
Know love passes on eternal currents and spirits flow between now and Heaven’s door. Trust as love passes to light the light it encompasses each soul in an unbroken circle; a symbol to show endings are beginnings as within His love we come and go.
Remember, angel’s wings are shaped like hearts not just to remind us of God’s love but that we are also surrounded always within the love of those who He has called Home – we are never, never left alone.
Blessings always,
bobette

To my family
My friend Winnie sent this to me , and I would like to share it with all of you.
There is a race we all must run
There is a goal we must all reach
There is a reward we all must seek
The race is life
The goal is death
The reward is eternal peace

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

To the family your mom will be greatly missed, she left wonderful memories for us all to cherish during this difficult time.
Annie Rose was a wonderful person, always keeping God in everything, despite her illness and health problems she was having. She never failed to say encouraging words, always ended her phone calls with I love you all and never complained about her situation.
I can remember when I was first married and not driving she would get off work from 3rd shift and take me to the childrens doctors appointments and many other things, she always would say honey I will be ok, she always thought of others first. She called every Sunday to check on her sister, prayed with her, visited her when she could. I already miss your phone calls.
Though you are gone and out of this earthly world you are always with us and will never be forgotten, I know you are rejoicing with the lord.
WELL DONE THOUGH GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

To the Wimberly Family,
My sympathy go out to all of you! Mother Wimberly was a mother, friend, mentor to me, and I love and miss her very much. I think back on the times when I would pick her up for church and the nice talks we would have. She's in a better place now! Mother I will see you in that NEW JERUSALEM paved with GOLD.

Sister Pam and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Mother Wimberly. I loved her very much and she will always be a part of me. The one thing that I can say about Mother is that there were times when she would send me cards and they would come right when I needed it. Me and Mother use to hand out sometime when she first came to North Highlands Communtiy I remember when we went shoe shopping we had a great time. She would always call me "Shell"
I will miss Mother very much and I want you to know that my prayers and thought goes out to the family.
May God continue to bless you and your family always.
We will miss you Mother Wimberly
Love ya,
Roshelle Vaughns
