To Melaton, Henry and the girls. I want you to know how much I thought of your love one. There was never a time that she saw me in church that she would not stop and talk to me and most of all give me a kind word that carried me a long way. I am sorry to hear of your loss and I know that you will miss her. Keep GOD close by because he will hear you when you cry and it will get easier by and by, but nothing can take the place of a "Mother!"

To the family; Please keep in mind that although she will be sadly missed-she is suffering no more! For now she is in our loving Father's arms and waiting for the day when we will all gather together to sing and shout around Heaven all the day!
May God bless you and keep you!

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.
