dear sophonia (and family), every day i have thought about the passing of your mother and every day have kept myself from writing a long letter to you because

i felt it just wouldn't be good enough.

May your mother's memory forever be as a blessing. Am thinking of her here in Jerusalem, the Holy City.

Fond regards ,

and Sarah (now 17), too

Dear Sophonia,

Your mother was a beautiful person, kind, sweet and strong. She will be missed by all that crossed her path during her lifetime. She will always be remembered with just one look or thought of you. You too have her traits; however, your mother made sure you were stronger and very loved. I will always love you both no matter where we are. Barbara

I knew and loved Mrs. Vera White for almost 4 decades. I have been friends with her loving daughter Sophonia from 2nd grade to the present (I love you girl:-))and Mrs. White was always there and always the sweetest and kindest person to me.Even when she was sick in later years, she always remembered to ask me about my brother and my furry children (Dogs:-))...I remember going over to their house often when I was in Elementary, Junior, and Senior High, and Mrs. White was always so welcoming and kind. I felt so welcome in their home, even though Mrs. White was always busy taking care of elderly relatives(which I have now discovered is very difficult, since I am a nurse)....By the way,I am white and it was not that common for blacks and whites to be friends back then, especially when Sophonia and I were in Elementary School. Mrs. White made it all feel natural and no problem at all. I will miss her so much! I know she is looking down on all of us from heaven.....Love, Amy

Cousin Vera was a gentle, sweet woman. She was a Christian and you knew it by her counternance. She always allowed God's light to brightly shine through her. She made all that knew her feel comfortable and cared for.

We all miss her, but God knew he wanted her now. We will see her again.

It is now our time to complete the work that God has for each of us to do.... then in the here after we shall meet again

Love Janet

Sis. White was a "Giant" of a lady. Her gracious smile and walk shown as a confident and couragious spirit from within. The radiant joy she illuminated sparkled all those around her. The honor is mine to have known her and I thank God for the precious moments we shared. She's already missed...

Love, Neasy

Mommy,

Without you, there would be no us.

Because of you, we learned to trust
in the LORD as we must,

if we are see you again when we too turn to dust.

Soon and very soon we will fly away on the wind with a gust.

Joining you and all our beloved who've gone before,

to reign evermore with the righteous and the just.

Thank you for loving us.

All our Love,

Robert and Sophonia
