JOHN 14
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me .In my father house there are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I would come again, and receive to myself; that where I am, there you my be also. And where I go you know, and the why you know.
You can only have one mother
You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above; Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.. ,Love your children (Leroy ,Sereatha, Tasha)
DearGrandma,
I love you. You’ve been through so much with us. I’m going to miss you.

GRANNY, THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE
DearGranny,TheLoveofOurLife,
You know that we love you with every ounce of love in our bodies. You helped us with so much throughout our life while you were here. You continued to show us the good from the bad, and how to be as strong and independent as you were. We have so many memories but our favorite memory was you just being there for us when we needed you most. We learned that we can get through anything because you showed us how to put up a long, strong fight. As the sun sets upon this life and your body is laid to rest we know you’ll be up in Heaven because God only takes the best. We know you’re watching over us and it takes the pain away. We will carry you in our hearts until we meet again our love..
Forever and Always
Love Your Grandchildren

Dear Granny, You were my role model, now the star that I look up to. You helped me with a lot of things in my life, showing that I can get through all things that life throws at me by putting up my best fight. You helped me learn that life is much more to cherish. As I got older our bond became stronger and stronger. You were my everything, my world, most importantly my grandmother, the person I could always count on. You were my sunlight where the sun didn’t shine, the brightest star of them all.
Love, Tay (Taylor)
