Our Sister Directions To My Father’s House
She made a right onto Believeth Blvd. Then she kept straight through the green light, which is Jesus Christ. Then she turned onto The Bridge of Faith which is over troubled waters. When she got off the bridge, she made a right turn and kept straight. Now she’s on the King’s Highway, which is Heaven Bound…

Then she went three miles, one for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit. Then she exits off onto Grace Blvd. She makes a right turn onto Gospel Lane, she kept straight and made another right onto Prayer Road. As she traveled on her way, she yielded not into Temptation Ave. She avoided Sin Street because it’s a dead end. She passed up Envy Drive and Hate Avenue and also passed Hypocrisy Road, Gossiping Lane and Backbiting Lane. However, she went down Long Suffering Lane, Persecution Street and Trails and Tribulations Avenue, but that’s alright because Victory Road is straight ahead. Amen.
Go rest now precious one, your life in eternity has just begun. I can just imagine the smile on your face. As you walk around in that beautiful place. Greeting our loved ones, as you walk along while singing heaven’s most beautiful songs. This is so very hard, but it will be okay. It isn’t goodbye; we’ll see you one day.

Gloria was employed by the Memphis City Schools for about 15 years. Gloria was a fun-loving and good-hearted woman who loved her family. On March 6, 2017, at Saint Francis Hospital, God called Gloria from labor to sweet rest, for she had fought a good fight, she finished her course, and she kept the faith. Gloria was preceded in death by her sister, Virginia Patterson, and brother, Calvin Fossett.

For My Angel
My warrior, my Angel, you got your wings, my Queen Fly away, Fly away Brightness of sky, you are my rock That shine you gave, the gift of Love all over my heart Words can’t describe the bond we shared with a warm and kind Humble heart you had Fly away, Fly away my butterfly in the sky A big part of my life is gone. Shining in the sky with all my Angels around me, Never gone too far, Fly away, Fly away, my Beautiful Butterfly So high up in the sky, I Love You so much All I do is cry, cry, cry my butterfly in The Heavenly Sky Love you Sis, My Angel In The Sky

herished Memories
Gloria, My Sister, My Sister You had to leave; you didn’t let me know you were leaving Who am I going to talk to now about our stories You were so much than a big sister You were my friend, my buddy and so much more. It was so hard for me to walk out of the room and leave you there. I don’t know what God has waiting for you, But I know His golden gates are open for you. When you walk through that gate remember me, My footstep is not far away. My love for you will never die. I will cry, I will smile, I will laugh But most of all my love in my heart, Will always be there forever and forever
Your Loving Sister, Peggie
