Funeral Cortege

To know you was to love you, but to be loved by you was a gift straight from God. Grandmother you are more than a matriarch, you are a masterpiece hand-painted by the grace of God and seasoned by 96 years of wisdom, beauty, and unwavering faith. You lived with elegance, carried yourself with grace, and never lost the sparkle of your wit. Even in your quiet moments, your presence spoke volumes filled with peace, prayer, and purpose. You have a charm to lift up every room, a beauty that does not fade away, and a laugh that made us feel like everything was going to be alright. You taught us the power of a gentle answer, the strength in silence, and the joy of walking with the Lord even when the path was not easy. Grandmother, you are our prayer warrior, our encourager, our safe place. Whether you were telling us a story from "back in the day" or giving us a look that meant you were about to tell us the truth whether we were ready or not, you did it all in love. You taught us how to how to honor God, how to serve others, and how to carry ourselves with dignity and joy. Although we will miss your smile, wisdom, your stories, and your hugs, we take comfort in knowing that you are resting in the arms of the Savior you loved so deeply. Your legacy lives on in each of us in the way we pray, in how we show up for our families, and how we carry the light of Christ into the world, just like you did. We love you forever, Grandmama! Your Grandchildren

You are too precious to be forgotten and too priceless to ever be replaced. You are one in a million, and you will always be - The precious and unique great grandmother we cared for so dearly. We will always remember your kindness, caring heart, and understanding. You will forever be in our hearts. We Love You!! Your Great Grandchildren

When I am gone, release me. Let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy, we had so many years. I gave you my love and you can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it's time I traveled alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part so bless those memories in your heart.

Farewell Until We Meet Again!

For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. - 2 Timothy 4: 6 -7 Rarely is a family as fortunate to have so many that care so much. We wish to thank each and every one of you for your kindness, support, love, and encouragement during this time of bereavement. We pray that God's favor and blessings are showered upon you. The family wishes to offer special thanks to Heart to Heart Hospice for the care and services rendered .
