To my wonderful family,

While I am sorry I cannot be there for Mom's homegoing, I celebrate with you a life well lived. Mom touched and encouraged everyone she met, without offending in any way. She is a lovely example of the love of Jesus Christ and I am honored to be counted as her daughter. Mom encouraged me to believe that I was only going through a healing crisis and her kind words gave me a faith foundation to stand on. I will always love her and I appreciate the seeds she planted in her lifetime and the fruit it will bear for many generations to come. Oh to see the look on her face as she stood face to face with Jesus Christ. How precious are the saints in God's eyes. Her memory will always remain in my heart. I celebrate her homegoing in Christ Jesus. In the service of the King,

Just remeber she in a better place with god,and that he watches over all his children. God said that he will never leave nor forsake us it was just time for her to go home to be with her father in heaven. For god so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whose so ever belive in him shall not perrish but have everlasting life and now her life is ever lasting. After you done all you can you just stand.And you have Ms.Allen sympathy as well.
