A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we’re together again.”
We, the family of Aubra Jean Anderson, wishes to express our sincere gratitude for every act of kindness shown during our time of bereavement. The many calls, cards, flowers, visits and contributions will forever be remembered. We sincerely thank each of you individually and collectively. Special thanks to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
