G OD S AW Y OU God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be,

He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come with Me." Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands were put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the best.

"Do not let your hearts be distressed. You believe in God; believe also in me. There are many dwelling places in my Father's house. Otherwise, I would have told you. I am going away to make ready a place for you. And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too. John 14:1-3

Dear Mom, you left me when I thought we had more time together. I understood your pain and saw the hurt in your eyes, but I still wanted you to hold on. I knew that was selfish and I knew I had to let you go. I wanted to hold your hand a little longer, but God is holding your hand now. Mama, thank you for trusting me to pray for and with you. I was hesitant but you had confidence in me and told me to start the prayer and you'll pick up where I left off. I was surprised by what you asked God to do but I knew he had the final say so. Thank you for always worrying about me and encouraging me. I'll be okay but the pain of you not being here is deeper than I could imagine. Just know you "BUNCH" is going to be okay. Well done, mama. Fly higher and higher, like a morning dove. Forever, Herman Dear Mom, I'm so grateful for the way I was raised. You were never afraid to be my mom nor my friend- to put your foot down, to teach me right from wrong, to make sure I did my best. You always let me know I had a mama who cared about me, who believed in me, who trusted me and who was there for me no matter what. Mom-Friend I'll love you forever, I'll miss you forever, I'll remember you forever and I will always need you by my side forever. Love you, Beverly Dear mom, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Love you, Rose. Dear Mom, no one will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you're the only one who knew what my heart sounds like from the inside. You will be truly missed. Love you, Clyde Jr.

Moma, thank you for blessing me with the knowledge and understanding of life, May God Bless your beautiful soul for a job well done! God Bless! Love, Shott Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Luke 23:43 "And he said to him, 'Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall di Mom I want you to know I miss you I love you, and that I will be strong for you . I know that for us to have eternal life we must leave this temporary life, I know one day we will be together again, but until then I promise you that I will follow Gods path back to you . As long as I have breath in my body I will love you miss you and remember the time God gave me with you. I'll cel ebrate the time we shared even though my heart hurts and I can ’ t stop cry ing ,I know that you're in a better place and that I will join you one day. Love, David McKinney Aunt Marie, I could never forget you. A part of me is still lost and I'm won dering if I will ever get it back. Maybe that piece is in heaven with you some day you can put it back in me. I used to be your angel, now you are mine. Love you, Milton rect thy paths." Love, Clifford
