Weep Not For Me
Weep not for me though I have gone Into that gentle night Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul’s sweet fight.
LTribute oving
I am at peace; my soul’s at rest There is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years. There is no pain; I suffer not The fear is now all gone Put now these things out of your thoughts In your memory, I live on. Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife Please do not dwell upon my death But celebrate myth life.

Mother
Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain Is a smile I still wear at the sound of your dark name. The precious word is “Mother,” she was my world you see, But now my heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with me... God chose her for His angel to watch me from above, To guide me and advise me and know that I’m still loved. The day she had to leave me when her life on earth was through. God had better plans for her, for this, I surely knew. When I think of her kind heart and all those loving years, My memories surround me, and I can’t hold back the tears. She truly was my best friend, someone I could confide in, She always had a tender touch and a warm and gentle grin. I want to thank you, Mother, for teaching me so well, And though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell. I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see. Thank you, my Dear Mother, for all the love you showed me. Although you’ve left this earth and not you’ve taken flight, I know that you are here with me each morning, noon and night.
Eternally Loved, Your Son, Marcus
To My Mother-in-law
Having you around was a treasure and a treat. You were always willing to lend a helping hand. There was never a dull moment when you were around. Not many mother in law would do all that you have done. I know there is a party going on now in heaven now that you are there. I will hold on to all of those fun memories until we meet again. Your son in law Franchone as you say

Diana Marie Sharp
Your Lil Big Brother, Robert
was born September 9, 1951, to the late Robert E. Sharp, Sr. and Georgia M. Sharp in Memphis, Tennessee. She confessed a hope in Christ and was baptized at an early age. She moved to St. Louis, Mo at the age of 11, but later returned and graduated from Melrose High School. She held many jobs but mostly enjoyed her career in nursing at Baptist Hospital. Diana was the oldest of four children. To know her was to love her because she treated you like a sister or brother because her love and trust in people stretched for miles. She always smiled or laughed to bring joy when you were around her. She was the sweetest lady you’ll ever meet.
My one and only dear sister, only the good Lord knows how I will miss you. I will always cherish the happy times we shared, and the memories will live forever in my heart.
She was preceded in death by her son Quincey Baker, Sr., and her brother Michael Sharp. Diana’s memories will be cherished and shared by her son, Marcus A. Lawrence and her daughter, Deidre N. Martin (Franchone); her sister, Sherry A. Thompson (Anderson) and brother, Robert E. Sharp, Jr. (Jackie); three grandchildren, Jordyn Jones, Quincey Jr., and Erin Martin and a host of aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Your Loving Sis A Grandmother Like You...
You’ve always been right there for us, Right from the very start. We always knew you loved us, From the bottom of your heart. A grandmother like you was the Best friend we could have. One joke out of you and the whole room would laugh. With a grandmother like you, there was never a dull moment. You lit up the room, everyone full of enjoyment. One of the sweetest souls we’ve ever known, We must be lucky to have you as one of our own. We knew all of your favorite songs; we even made you sing ours, With a grandmother like you. We could go on for hours. From watching tv to singing songs together, a grandmother like you, we will love and cherish forever.
Love Your Grandchildren Jordyn, QJ, and Erin

I Miss You I Miss You Mama I awake each morning to start a new day ‘but the pain of losing you never goes away. I go about the things I have to do And as the hour’s pass, I think again of you I want to call you just to hear your voice Then I remember I have no choice For you are not there and now my heart cries Just to see you again to tell you goodbye
