The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms 23

The Matriarch of Our Family

I had you to myself two years before Lisa was born. Now you both are gone. My Mom, my heart, what am I to do now? There is a hole in my heart that can never be filled. The pain is so deep I don’t know how to heal. You were calm to my storm. You always said to have Faith, Pray and be patient. We sat, talked, and watched our favorite shows Love It or List It, Food Network, Lifetime Movies, all the Housewives, especially Atlanta, and of course, Kenya Moore, who you couldn’t stand. I called so many times to check on you morning, noon, and night to ask what you had for breakfast and how you sleep and to wish and to wish you a good night. Listen and laugh at you, Mrs. Lois and Mrs. Elaine, talking about old times. You missed Dad, Ivory, and best friend, Mrs. Patricia. I could see the loneliness in your eyes with silent moments. God called home the perfect Angel. A woman who touched so many lives and gave no matter what. She took care of all her brothers as her Mom told her to. I hate I couldn’t say goodbye, but I wouldn’t have let you go. But God knows best and took care of all the rest. Now, several Angels are watching over me, saying you got this; breathe and keep pushing through. You’re up in Heaven, no more pain, no more stress, no more worries, and finally, peace. There with Dad, Lisa Ivory, your mother and father, and other loved ones. Your firstborn will be strong, as you always know; I can hear your last words; you’re so Beautiful. I will Love You Forever and always gone but never be forgotten. My Mom ~Love

My GrandMa

My grandma has been in my life since I was a child. I’ve seen countless my brother in her arms. I remember every summer, traveling to I would sit in her lap while she laughed and told us funny stories make us understand our culture and beliefs. I remember her walking helping her wash potatoes. It was really a wonderful time. I remember with homemade spaghetti and banana pudding when we flew in from the hospital; she was as optimistic as ever, laughing and watching brighten the whole room. I will remember everything about Love Alexandria

My Beloved Mother

There is never a good time to say goodbye to a loved one, as we can never have enough of them. I have loved and enjoyed you as a mother. You opened your heart and warmly embraced me as a daughter. While we may not see you physically anymore, you will always be in my heart and thoughts, and in a special place no one else can fill. I will miss the personalized birthday song you would call to sing on my birthday every year. Thank you for being such a wonderful mother-in-law. Farewell blessed one, and rest peacefully in the Lord!

Love, George & Grace

“our Granny Pooh”

An angel received her beautiful wings. I miss you every day. My grandmother was my hero, my queen, and my best friend. Everyone loved you so so much because of your beautiful heart and strength. You were the shining light, the glue that kept everyone together. You showed Chashell and me how never to give up, to respect yourself and others, and to be different is okay. No one in this lifetime can replace your genuine love and affection. Even though God called you home, you’re in the best company, and the pain is gone; you’re at peace. Tell my Mom I love her so much and miss her with all my heart. Tell Granddaddy I miss him, and I loved all his stories of the past. Tell Uncle Ivory I miss him and his honesty; he always told me what I needed to hear. All I can say is I Love You so…much, and this word is not as bright without you in it.

Love always, Jeremy and Charnell Douglas

a GrandMother in heaven

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, please pick a bunch for me Place them in my grandma’s arms, and tell her they’re from us; tell her we love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.

Love, Monica, Ronique, Rodney, Lil Trell, and Logan

My red Cross

How do I prepare the words to say the words to speak about a woman so loved and cherished by many each day. A heart so big…. So kind, so giving who could throw down at the drop of a hat in the kitchen. Soft words of wisdom and compassion, no matter the case, a grandmother’s love can never be replaced. Aldi, Kroger, Cash Saver, the Piggly Wiggly man, oh man, will I miss getting that call while in line? “Hey boy, add this… this…and this to my list. “Early days of bacon, eggs, and biscuits being made just hearing your voice say boy get your butt up and come eat; you’re not going to sleep all day.” On my first days on earth, you would rub my cone head. The nights I would wait, oh Mom, and would fall asleep in your bed. The song you made up, “What’s a matter you?” What’s the matter with me? The sweet sound of your voice is always there to calm me. Remembering the days of 1 of the most influential people in the world. Tell Big Ma, Randy, Lisa, Ivory, Tommy, Daddy Hello. I will always love and cherish you.

My GrandMother

This is my grandmother Jacqueline Smith. I called her Momo instead of Mama because that’s what I call my mother. She was like another mother to me. She helped raise me and teach me how to speak, and I eventually became my own person. Throughout my childhood, I saw her in and out of the hospital, but the thought of death never comes to your mind until you are forced to face it. The 1st time I was confronted with the reality of death was when my granddad died. I was about 7. I did not know how to take it at the time since I was so young. But when my dad told me Grandma died, it hit me hard. I thank God that I was able to spend time with her and talk to her before she was taken away from us. May my Grandma Jacqueline Y. Smith rest in peace.

The family of the late Jacqueline Yvonne Smith wishes to thank you for the expressions of sympathy through cards, visits, flowers, and calls. We also want to thank her PCP, Dr. Calvin Jeff Mullins MD, who was more than just her doctor; he is family. He loved her so much, and we appreciate you taking great care of her.

Lee Wilson, a family friend and the person who made sure her mobility needs were on point. No matter when she called, he came to fix, repair or replace at the drop of a hat. Crystal Harper, taking the time to visit her at home, the hospital, calling to check on her, praying, and being there in her last days.

Lois Scruggs, One of her best friends who, would cook for her, call her and also visit her at home and the hospital. Also, the Staff of Baptist Hospital East 3rd and 5th Floor she loved everyone she came in contact with. Thank You for the Love and Care. Your love and prayers shown during our hours of bereavement are much appreciated.
