“Im Still With You” LTributes oving
To my dear husband
When you miss me, know I’m with you in spirit, still loving you and caring for you.
When you’re grieving, I’m beside you, in your heart, in your thoughts, sending you much love, encouragement, affection and the strength to carry on with life. Celebrate the life I lived and all the things I gave you. Your wonderful memories of me are all the things that will comfort you and give you peace. Please think of me as I think of you with a heart so full of love.
Eternally yours, Janice
“A
TribuTe To My Wife”
God saw you were getting weary. So He did what He thought was best. He came and stood beside your bed and whispered, “Come and rest.”
The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are passed now; From every present grief and sorrow you have found “Sweet Rest at Last”. You bid no one a last farewell, not even a goodbye, but in a blink of an eye you were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
I thank God your soul is resting, I thank God you were blessed.
I thank God I had you to love me, I thank God he knows what’s best.
I love you very dearly, but God loves you best.
Now sleep in sweet peace JANICE, take your rest.
Eternally Yours, Aldrick
Remembering
Janice Veasy Walker
Janice Veasy Walker transitioned from this life on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, at Baptist Memorial Hospital – East in Memphis. She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Greater Whitestone Missionary Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee. Later she and her family joined New Salem Missionary Baptist Church with Pastor Frank E. Ray, Sr. At New Salem, she loved singing in the choir. Her final church home was with her husband at Knights Chapel CME Church in Hernando, Mississippi, with Rev. Johnnie Wilson. She regularly attended until her health declined.
Janice was a 1978 graduate of Hamilton High School. She was very kind and loving but had a direct and sarcastically funny personality. She loved fashion, shopping, dancing, cooking, fine dining, and just having a good time with family and friends. She loved her dog, a peekapoo named Ginger, who preceded her in death.
Janice’s loving memories will be cherished by her husband of 12 years, Aldrick Walker of Memphis, Tennessee, her mother, Mary Etta Veasy of Memphis, Tennessee, three sisters; Shirley (Max) Dodd of Oxford, Alabama, Anna Veasy-Haynes of Cordova, Tennessee, Loretta (John) Cooper of Olive Branch, Mississippi, two brothers; Marvin Veasy of Memphis, Tennessee and Patrick (Veronica) Veasy of Olive Branch, Mississippi, two special nieces and a great-nephew who she loved and cared for as her own; Ashley and Alexis Cooper and Ashton Cooper, sisters-in-law; Dorothy (Jimmie) Moore and Patricia Oliver of Hernando, MS, Margie (Joe) Cohen, Mary Ann Reese, amd Ruthie Walker, of Memphis, TN brothers-in-law; Gerone (Barbara) Walker, Memphis, TN, Jamie Walker of Plano, TX and Kurt Walker of Manhattan, NY and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

“TeArs of Joy ”
Author unknown
“Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in the “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. We cannot move to the back of the line. We cannot step out of the line. We cannot avoid the line. So, while we wait in the line… Make moments count.
Make priorities. Make the time.
Make your gifts known.
Make a nobody feel like a somebody. Make your voice heard.
Make the small things big. Make someone smile.
Make the change. Make love. Make up.
Make peace.
Make sure to tell your people they are loved.
Make sure to have no regrets.
Make sure you are ready.”
Love, The Walker Family
In loving MeMory on your BirThdAy
Sister I cried when it happened
And still do everyday
My world was totally shattered
The day you went away
Little reminders lay around
The photographs remain I talk about the old days
That bring you back again
I know that you’re with Jesus now
And happy in his care
If we could just this once Call and see you there
Just to wish you Happy Birthday
And I’d hug you for a while
Oh oh! The joy once again
To see your lovely smile
I Love you, Loretta
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 love and will miss you, Mom
