I could not stay another day,

I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.
To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My Life’s been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch,
Prayer of Comfort Elder Benard Kendricks Processional “Forever” by Jason Nelson
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
A face I love is missing. A voice I know is still. A place is vacant in my heart, that only you could fill. Tears in my eyes that won’t go away I wish you were hear with me today. I know you never meant to hurt me or make me cry. My love for you will always stay. If only things didn’t end this way. But now you’ve brought it to the final end. I will always remember you as my mother, my best friend and my life coach. I love you mom. You fought an amazing fight. Rest my Queen. Love your fat face, Ashley
Fly High Momma Bear. I love you Rest In Peace my angel I hope you’re resting now, pain free Beautiful lady. You’re my rock I love you so much and I’m going to miss you dearly Mark
Mom I can be happy knowing you’re happy. No words can express the way I feel you were a great mother, teacher and provider and your children will forever hold your name and love. JR
Words can’t express the pain and emptiness that we’re feeling. You were so much more than our loving cousin, you were our confidant and a voice of reason when often needed. Always positive, loving and always loyal. God has taken another one of his angels home. We love you. Sherdean and Lee Eskridge Missy and Pooh
In loving memory of my “Granny” you left me in this world alone. But I’m not angry because understand. No more pain, no more struggles, no more suffering. You held on the best you could for a long time. People say time heals all wounds and that pain will subside, but I can tell you they lied. I love you Granny Mar’Janea
To my Sister You were my Kleenex for my tears My Bible versus, my diary You’ve been everything to me. Now that you’re gone and that voice of yours keep telling me to live on. I love you and I’m going to miss you everyday and say wait for me. I’m coming there to be with you too. Gina
The
Psalm 23 Lord
is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
leadeth me
he
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. I love you mom and I’m going to miss everything about you. Rest on, Shantee
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil;

I saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be, so he wrapped his arms around you and whispered come with me. You didn’t deserve what you went through. And so he gave you rest. God’s Garden must be beautiful he only takes the best. So when I saw you sleeping so peaceful and pain free I could not wish you to come back to suffer again. Matt
