To My Dear Cousins - Vicki, April, Barbara, Joyce, Michael, Sandra, Patricia and Jesse,
How my heart ached when Mommy called me and told me Aunt Eunice had passed. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember growing up and spending time at your house with Aunt Eunice and Uncle Jesse, honestly those times became some of the fondest memories of my childhood. Aunt Eunice was one of the sweetest and kind nature women I have ever known. I always remember how sharp of a dresser she was. I am sorry that I was not able to be at the service, but please know I was there in spirit, because I felt nothing but love for Aunt Eunice. As we have grown up everyone has gone there own ways, I wish I had kept in touch more. I will surely miss her smile and calling her my Aunt Diva! Oh my goodness looking at this picture so reminds me of Grandma Naomi. Please keep the memories of Aunt Eunice close to your heart. Please take a moment to read from your own copy of the Bible the following at John 5:28,29 and Rev. 21:3,4. Yes, our Creator has provided comfort by means of his Word. I love you all and am mourning with you. We shall keep you in our thoughts. Love you all.

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.

Ms. Tyson, you played a major role in my life, my children's life (grandmother) and my grandchildren's life. My ears only heared kind words from your lips. Although you had a large family of your own to take care of, you were never to busy to spread love throughout the Riggs Park neigborhood. I know you are in heaven with the lord, but a big part of you will remain here on earth in my heart.
Rest in peace, my friend
Tearful Love
