It is true that Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal . May God's comfort be with each of you as you enjoy the memories of our dearly departed. We sat where you are 8 months ago with the passing of my father so, we do understand the pain and we also understand the joys in knowing that we will see the righteous again in heaven. Bless you Aretha. You know we would have been in Midland if we had known. Take care and let's stay in touch.

I Can’t Tell You Mom How Many Tears I’ve Cried Since The Day I Was Told My Precious Mom Had Died It Seems Impossible Although I Know It’s True Because Everything I See Reminds Me Of You I Still Hear Your Laughter See The Smile On Your Face I Would Have Lost My Sanity If Not For God’s Saving Grace. If tears could build a stairwell and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say good-bye . You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it means to lose you, no one will ever know. I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart !!! love You Forever and Always Your Daughter Joyce

To My GranGran,I will always cherish the beautiful memories that we have together. My brother, sister and I still love to reminisce about you...how you loved to sing, and tell the funniest stories to us...even while you were sick. You were the most wonderful Grandmother, and those moments with you are so precious. You were also an amazing mother to my mom and all of her siblings. I wish you could see the pureness of the joy that overcomes my mom, my aunties, and my uncle when they talk about you. They honor you with their love and respect, and you are always of their highest regard....that is evidence of a Good god-given Momma...the best kind there is. All of us are thankful to God for your life and our blessing to have shared so many wonderful years with you on earth. We are thankful to God for carrying you home on your special day, so that you could celebrate in heaven with angels....with peace of mind, and no more sickness or pain...only joy. Finally we are thankful that you will have rest....and unity with my Auntie Frida, Grandpa Bill, and our Papa. Praise God for the healing and the peace that he has restored to you, and for the comfort that he has brought to our family because he understand that it still hurts that you are not with us. God bless our family, the wonderful individuals at Nalley-Pickle & Welch for all they have done to take care of you & make your day so beautiful for you, and all the friends and others whose hearts are heavy.We love you always GranGran...always
