In Rememberance

Well. it's official. Christmas 2008 has come to a close. Now comes reflection time. Many choose to take time between Christmas and New Year's to reflect upon the past year and set dreams into action for the coming year. Before things move too fast, I want to take this time to acknowledge those who've gone on before me that have touched my life in some way. These people have shaped me into the person I am today. They've loved me, nurtured me, pinched my cheeks, and dare I say, some have changed my diapers, and a couple of them, I've changed diapers for. I thank God for their lives and the priviledge of knowing them, some for only a short while, others a while longer, but all are endeared to me.
In Loving Rememberance and Dedication to:
Big Mama 1921-1981
Uncle Charles 1943-1984
Uncle Sonny 1903-1997
Uncle Herman 1916-1999
Uncle Horace 1960-2004
Charles Brandon 1982-2005
Justin 1983-2006
Uncle Melvin 1918-2006
Mr. Charles 1938-2007
Carlton 1961-2007
Sister Bonner 1940-2008
Sister Dix 1921-2008

Gwen
Brother Dix, and

At times it's hard to accept that they are gone, but I know that I must accept what God allows. He has the very hairs of our heads numbered and He is in complete control of our every breath. He makes no mistakes. Although today, I don't understand; today, my heart aches with pain; and sometimes it's even hard to fathom making it from one day to the next. But God knows and God cares.

My dear loved ones, rest in peace until He comes

simply beautiful.
