MY QUEEN

Queenie was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many throughout her time on this earth. She and I met as teenagers over 47 years ago, and from the moment we met, I knew there was something special about her. We fell in love quickly and got married just two years later.

Throughout our life together, Queenie was the most loving, caring, and genuine person I had ever met. She had a heart of gold, and her love for others knew no bounds. We didn’t have any biological children of our own, but that didn’t stop us from being like parents to many. We loved and cared for many children in our lives as if they were our own, and they brought us so much joy.

Queenie was a passionate woman who lived life to the fullest. She always had a smile on her face and an infectious energy that drew people to her. Her love for life was evident in everything she did, whether it was cooking a delicious meal or planning a fun adventure for us to go on together.

We were devoted to each other, and our love only grew stronger over time. We supported each other through the ups and downs of life, and we were each other’s rock. Our bond was unbreakable, and we knew that no matter what challenges we faced, we could always count on each other.

On April 12, 2023, my beloved Queenie passed away suddenly. Her loss has left a void in my heart that can never be filled. But even though she is no longer with us, her spirit lives on through the countless lives she touched. Her legacy of love and kindness will continue to inspire and guide me throughout the rest of my life.

Queenie was an incredible woman, and I am grateful for every moment we shared together. I will always cherish the memories we made and the love we shared. Rest in peace, my dear Queenie. You will always be loved and missed.

Your King

The Angels Came On A Silent Day

And took my Grammy far away

My heart was heavy, my eyes were wet I couldn’t bear the thought of letting go just yet But in the stillness of the night, I heard her voice so soft and light

She said, “Dear Myra, please don’t cry, I’ll be watching you from up high.”

“You mean so much to me,” she said, “I’ll miss you, but I’m not dead. Jesus has called me to His side, In heaven, I’ll forever abide.”

She spoke of a place of wondrous beauty, Where pain and worries are just a memory

Where peace and joy reign supreme, And love beyond measure is a constant stream.

I’ll hold on to the memories we shared, The good times, the laughs, the love we bared. I’ll try not to think of the sadness and pain, instead, I’ll focus on the sunshine after the rain. I know I can trust in Jesus, for He knows best, He’ll give me strength to pass this test.

And when I reach Heaven’s door, My Grammy will greet me with flowers galore. Goodbye, my best friend, I love you so, I’ll miss you more than you’ll ever know. But I know you’re in a better place, And I’ll see you again with God’s grace.

Love Myra - granddaughter
