Thank You Mama
 
Thank You Mama, for the life you gave us. We will never forget.
 
The love you gave, the lessons you taught, and the sacrifices you made are immeasurable. We are strong, we are loving, and we have faith in our Heavenly Father, and because of that we thank you. You struggled and fought and gave everything you had to others. We see you Mama!
 
You tried your best to give us all the things we wanted, but you always made certain that you gave us the things we needed. You taught us how to live, love, laugh and to accept the things that we cannot change. You showed us how to have to respect for our fellow man by up lifting him when he’s down, helping when we can, but also how to demand respect from others, [don’t play! ;-)].
Each of us have a particularly special bond with you and those bonds will never be broken.
 
Although we all wanted you to stay with us here, we remember what you taught us, and that is that God doesn’t make mistakes. We thank God for the many years that he allowed us to be your earthly children and we know that your faith in God is so strong that you trusted him from the beginning with us and asked him to guild us and help you guild us in this world, and we Love you for that.
We know that you will still be watching over us, only now you are doing it Beside Our Heavenly Father!
Your journey was painful and full of trials, but you did it!
Your job is done with the troubles of this world!
 
WELL DONE MAMA!
 
You have elevated beyond body; ascended to the highest level, and your love, presence, warmth, and knowledge will always be felt and cherished!
We will always Love and miss you so very much.
So you rest now, never gonna say goodbye so we will see you
Later!,
 
Chip(Lynn), Unc Wod(inside thing Rod) Your Baby Boy(Eshmel), and Bootny(Hyseem)

Ms.. Debra Spencer

I have learned that in life we all have certain things in common. For example, we each have a dash that contains our very existence. The dash is activated when GOD allows our earthly journey to begin (our birth), and it is deactivated when GOD allows us to transition from our earthly journey to our final place of residency (Heaven). The time in between that contains the life we lived, the choices that we made, the children that we birthed and the people that we met and greeted for whatever reason is called: "the dash (-)". I thank GOD that I was permitted to meet her, get to know her, spend time with her, share experiences and learn from her. I believe that GOD had and still has great plans for her...I believe we will all meet again.
Although, I was not a biological daughter, she always made me feel like I was her daughter, too. I am thankful that HE/GOD permitted me to be included in "her dash"..........I find peace and comfort when I embrace John 14:1-3 and I offer to share this with the rest of the family that they may be able to experience the same: it reads: "Don't let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in GOD, and trust also in me (JESUS). There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am........ chose to believe that HE came and that she is at home, with JESUS.

Thank you for including me.

...Most respectfully,
Gertrude Marshall-Spencer.

My mommy was a trooper, a fighter, but most of all a God fearing woman!
She is the best mother to ever walk this earth. 
Rest now mommy, job well done.
I love you so so so much until we see each other again.
