To Aunt Jessie Mae It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you the day God took you home.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ~ 2 Timothy 4:7-8 KJV

If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane; we’d talk our way to Heaven and bring you back again.

In life we loved you dearly in death, we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place no one could ever fill.

Dear Lord,

For 64 years you have graced me with the loan of a pre cious gift that of a “loving mother.” Thank you for the loan of your servant, Jessie Mae Forge, as my mother and best friend. All of her life was dedicated to serving you and others. She loved and gave freely all of herself, not only to me and my family, but to all of her relatives and everyone whose lives she touched as she lived and worked. As she gave, so she received during her declining health, when she needed it most. For this I am eternally grateful. I shall always remember these words: “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor cry ing, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.” - Revelations 21:4
