Dear Janice and Family: Please accept my most sincere and profound condolences on the loss of your dear, sweet, Mother.
I will always remember her "proud and regal walk" down the aisles of FTMBC every Sunday morning (dressed to the hilt, and even with a small heel on her matching pumps) and how she would stop and slap me on my arm to say hello. Your Mother was special to many and will be missed by all. What a shining example for all to follow. I can envision your Mother now, "Walking 'round Heaven," without a care in the world, no more sickness, no more pain..., but with our Jesus -- where we all are striving, to make Heaven our Home.
Please know that I'm so sorry that I can't be in my "former seat," for Mother's Memorial Service and Celebration of Life, but glance over there, where I used to sit -- I'll be there in spirit.
May the Great Comforter give you all that you need and want in this your time of sorrow, and may you all cherish the fond and sweet memories of your dear Mother.
Praying for you all continuously, most fondly and sincerely, your Sistah in Christ,
Derrick and Saritta Vann
