Grandmama,
I know it's been a while.I know you are up in heaven just shaking your head at me. Saying that this stupid girl know better.All the things you try to teach me went in one ear and out the other.No I was just a little side tracked with my illness. And a lot of stupidity came out at this time in my life of course I had another little boy named after the twin.That want bring him back but everytime me or anybody call his name I just think of my cousin.I miss you grandmama but you are in a better place with No more aches and pain that kept us up all night.I know God wanted you to stop suffering and be in so much pain so he was ready for you to come home.I was not ready even though you talked to me about this day I just assumed that it was later and not sooner.I miss you I just can't seem to get my life right since you were gone I'm so use to waking up fixing your meals, giving you your medicine,taking you to the doctors while nine months pregnant.You were the glue that kept this family together.Now everybody except Kojack (he's pretty stable) for now you know how he is ,is losing their minds.I want get into details you are watching from above that it is almost embarassing.We love you and miss you.I read it and that about you and felt a little better but nothing is like you being here fussing and calling me names and being there for me just as much as I was there for you.
HEAVEN
I sit here alone wondering why
Our lives have to end and we all have to die.
We have no idea or no way of knowing
Of when we'll die or where we're going
I sit here thinking of the people I've lost
Knowing of the pain and misery it's cost
You could lose a family member or your best friend
You would have had no idea that it was the end
If we had an idea of when our time would come
You would make the most of it and have some fun
You would cherish those days as much as you could
Forgetting all the bad times and making them good
When those days are over and your time is here
Hold tight to your memories and keep them near
When you rise up to GOd and the heavens above
Look down and watch over the ones you love.

I know that is where you are at and that is what you are doing.Missing you don't seem to get any easier every year like some people say. I guess because we were always together and it is hard to let go.

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.

"NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE"



Your kind heart,smiling face,

Each step you took with such grace,

As now you have left an empty space,

No one can ever take your place.



A grave shame, who were we to blame?

As God came, taking you away,

All we do now is pray, not knowing what to say,

on the 18th of february, our last day.



Our heads are bowed low, the pain trying not to show,

Sitting here reminiscing, we began missing

Our mother,our grandma, we can no longer pretend,

As much as we hate it, she's dead.



You have reached eternal life, forever free,

A journey we will all take,

As you stare down and smile,

Awaiting our arrival.



For now your memory still shines bright,

Inside us all,not allowing us to fall.

As we all stand tall, the way you would want it to be,

As once more i will see your face,

No One Can Ever Take Your Place!!!



In loving memory of Mary F. CLARK

R.I.P. GRANDMA- (WE LOVE YOU)!!!

If I Could Choose



If I could Choose a guarding angel,

One that would always watch out for me,I know right now,without a doubt,

Just who I would choose for me.



It would be someone who I know always cares,Someone with whom I feel free my inner-most thoughts to

share.



Yes! Who would be the one who talks with me and who listens to me,When I am about to fall;The one who would be there for me and go with me through it all.



It would be someone who prays for me

And knows of my strength,weakness,

my faults and ,yet, would love me

still.



So if it were that I could Choose

The one to help watch over me Dear

Grandma,would you be my angel please



I love you grandma.I miss you.You fought a hell of a fight.I wish there was more I could have done to show you or tell you just how much you meant to me.I took all of your words of wisdom and taking care of your kids (Taushyiana & Trashon)I'm a better person because of you and I love you for everything we shared together. Thank You!

I had the pleasure to have worked with Ms. Francis many years ago on Broughton St. Ms. Francis was a caring and kind person, but most of all she was a LADY in every sense of the word. Although I haven't spoken with her in far too many years I cherish the time I spent with her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

As cousin Tanya said, I will miss cousin Frances although I have not seen her in a while. I remember her always smiling and asking about me. I know that she is home with the Lord and will forever rest in peace.

To my cousins,



I will truly miss auntie fran, eventhough we did not talk much on the phone, or see each other on a daily basis does not mean that I did not think of her everyday. May God keep you strong during this time and may he give you peace. remember the 23rd Psalm, because I know that The Lord is auntie fran's shepherd and even in the face of death she feared no evil and surely goodness and mercy have followed her and we pray that she will be dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.



Love to all,

Ms. Francis will be missed. My mother was good friends with her and I remember many days visiting her at "Bottom Dollar" downtown. I pray for God's strength and peace for the family during this time.
