Mrs. White was such a kind lady. Always supportive of the youth in Clifton. I remembering her accompanying me for solo and ensemble contest. I was very good, but she made me feel special and like I was the best. Wonderful lady...she will be missed. My sympathy to her whole family

We buried my Aunt Rosalyn yesterday. She was such an important part of my life as a child and she continued to give love and support to now. She loved her family, friends, God, country, MUSIC, and Clifton. I love her and miss her. I hope everyone has an AUNT ROSALYN in their life.

Sending all my love the White family. I absolutely adored Ms. White. She was the best teacher I ever had, and I will forever cherish an essay I had written about her, that ended up winning a local contest. I am so blessed that I got to have there to help me celebrate at my wedding showers, then later at my baby shower. I will always, always cherish her. I know for a fact that heaven has some beautiful music being played as I speak.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have fond memories of you at the singing conventions and at the singing school. You'll be missed; however, we only wished that we were with you at the greatest singing convention ever. WOW nothing but glorious awaits you my dear; but, one day soon we shall join you in the Heavenly choir sitting at the right hand of God Himself. Save me a place in the alto section. Love you, and we'll keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
