Claudia and family,
Your mom was such a sweet, beautiful and enduring woman. When I met her during "Free Gospelites" timeframe (way back)she always had something comforting to say and most times I really needed the words that came from her. I know they were God sent because I never told her anything. Just remember "in times like these" Jesus is our Saviour and He is our comforter, He is there for you now and ever more. God bless you all

Claudia & Family,
WOW, what a jewel she was to so many and in many capacities. My prayers are with you all, especially the grandchildren. REJOICE and hold your memories dear. Take special comfort in knowing she is with the FATHER. There will be many tears as you try to regain a sense of the norm, take solace in knowing she is cheering you on to victory. Just remember the LORD bore our griefs and carried our sorrows.

Ma Eunice will be greatly missed. The last time I saw her was at Bishop Green's 70th birthday celebration. She used to love to hear me sing "Make Me Better Lord". I remembered after I sang that song, she grabbed me by the hand and said "you sang MY song". I told her it was just for her. When I used to hug her, by her being so small and me sooo large (heeheehee), I thought I would hurt her when I hugged her, but believe it or not, she used to put a bear-hug on me that would take my breathe away. Ma Eunice was next in line for a miracle and she's in a better place than we are. To Claudia, Jon and family, remember that there's no pain that Jesus can't feel, no hurt that he cannot heal. All things work according to his perfect will. No matter what you're going through, just remember that God is using you, for this battle is not yours, it's the Lord's. Be blessed. I love you.

Your mother (grandmother) was an angel sent from God. She received her wings to fly to a better place. We all will miss her smiling face.

Jonathan and Claudia you both had a beautiful mother. Since the day I met her and at our wedding reception she showed me so much love, that it was so overwhelming. I will miss her bubbling personality and her smile. I know she is in heaven because God only takes the best. May God be with you and your family and give you the strength and peace of mind that she is in good hands now, and is looking down on you.
With all of our love.
