Mom, your wings was ready but our hearts wasn’t ready. Mom you was my heart, I am lost for words
and I feel so lost. I am so hurt but I know you had to go. You didn’t want it no other way. My heart is
broken but now I know you are no longer suffering.
I love you mom and I will meet you in paradise.
Love, Lotonya & Terrell

Ecclesiastes 3 “A Time for Everything”
There is a time for everything and
a season for every activity under the heavens.
Keeping and holding this family together, you were the glue. Now, you’re at rest doing
what we all have to do. It gets hard to push through, but you taught us God’s Word is
trustworthy and true. He strengthen you in your days and for that I give Him praise.
Your laugh would echo in a room, and light up any room that had gloom. The light
you carried was so big and bright; seems like that could light up the night. I’ll forever
remember the good times, but those memories are not all mine. You touched so many
people in this life. Even though there are so many tears. I still thank God for giving
me you for 38 years. There will come a time we will meet again. I do know where, but
don’t know when. As you did, I will fight the good fight and when it’s time,
I’ll make sure I’ll have it right.
Rest on my Love, Your Daughter, Shanekia
