GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
“Words can’t fully express what all you meant to me and those of us who will cherish many precious and unforgettable moments with you. Like our mother, you were the epitome of love. You were righteous in every way, and I’m thankful for you and honored to be your brother. Missing you now and forever.” ~Marlon J. Martin (Champ)
“Merial, my beloved grandmother, you were an AMAZING WOMAN! A woman whose love knew no bounds and whose spirit touched us all. Even in your final days, you were concerned about us, then yourself. That was you. Always putting others first. Thank you for being the incredible woman that you were. Thank you for all of your sacrifices, care, concern, love, and everything you have done for us. You truly were a special woman. I’m going to miss you Grandma, but your spirit and strength will live on in each and every one of us. In memory of a life so beautifully lived and a heart so deeply loved. Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. You can get you some rest now, you definitely deserve it!!! I LOVE YOU! Until we meet again…” ~Tee-Sha
In Our Hearts
We thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part. God has you in His keeping. We have you in our hearts. Love Always, Cousin Regina
I Love You Still
Mom, Words could never begin to express how much you mean to me. I hope I showed you how much I appreciate you for being my backbone, my guide, my confidant, my security net, my biggest supporter, and my very best friend. Thank you for always being there for me and showing me how to love. I never imagined life without you, because I thought we still had forever. Although I feel like time cheated us, I’m grateful for the many years that I was able to spend with you. The memories we created, the lessons that you’ve taught me, and the love that you’ve given me will forever remain in my heart and mind. I carry you in my spirit, and I can still hear your voice. Thanking God for placing me in your gentle care. I love you, and I’m going to miss you everyday. Blessed to be your daughter, Monique
