I thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you insolence, I often speak your name. Now all I have is memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I will never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. Your Sister, Pauline Withers aka Paul
We are thinking of you.
Your Love is as pure as a Dove. You taught me how to assert myself quietly. Caught in his presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to take up residence. Watching you as I grow, learning what I should sow. You taught my mother and me; now I’m teaching my daughter so that you can see. Your influence will last generations, leaving us all with revelations. Well done my good and faithful servant he says, as you arrive to your final destination. Love Jennifer aka Karen
Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
Our family, though sometimes at odds, will miss you terribly. You were the calm that we all pointed to in order to get back to normal. RIP Grandma.
“Hattie Mims” will remain in our hearts forever.
