To Ronald (Ronnie); Larry and Pamela (Pam),'though I'm not able to attend services please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family.  Your  mother was a beautiful lady and peaceful neighbor it was a joy and blessing to have been her neighbor as a girl growing up. She will be solely missed from the neighborhood and the community of "TRINITY GARDENS" . Look up always for God8 will provide all  that you need to carry you through and wipe your tears as time passes by. Call me if you need to just release for I listen well and am here for you. God bless and keep you. always.

I will forever remember the Family Times we (Gertrude, Michael and I) shared with you all as Cousins.  Time flies and distances
change but Precious Memories last a Lifetime.
May those Bring Comfort to you all daily.

To The Family Remember Love Never Dies ❤ May God Continue To Bless You All 

OUR "GRAND" MOTHER
From the very first moment you smiled upon me;
You gave all that you had unconditionally.
You taught me kindness, patience, and love;
As we formed a close bond , God blessed from above.
Many seasons passed with you showering me with love I grew;
Each year with your nurturing increased my devotion to you.
Every young heart should have experienced knowing someone like you; 
Who helps keep them focused and believe that your dreams can come true.
Someone who remained a constant, a solid rock , remaining by my side;
Whose faith in them fosters a strong sense of pride.
Our sweet ,special someone "GRAND!!!!" Mother by name;
Whose comforting fire helped ignite our family's perpetual flame.
It added beauty and warmth in so many ways;
A light that will guide me through all of my days.
In my garden of my memories I can see you standing there;
An angel in disguise who taught me how to care.
I long to hear your voice for real and not in dreams;
I am missing you so much these days how empty my world seems.
People say that time heals all wounds and that pain will subside;
But "Grand" mother I can tell you this I think the world must have lied.
The emptiness I am feeling is strong and I am weak;
These days that go on without you are so dreary and bleak.
In my Gussie garden of memories I know there you will always be;
For though you're gone from this mortal world .....in my heart you will always be.
We knew little that morning that GOD would call your name;
In life we loved you dearly and in your absence we will do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you......you did not go alone;
Because part of us went with you when GOD called you home.
You left us peaceful memories....your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you....our "Grand" mother....you are always by our side.
Our STEPTOE family chain is broken and nothing seems the same;
But as GOD calls us one by one.....our STEPTOE family chain will link again.
