To the family, hugs, prayers and happy memories. Thanks to Jesus for sharing her here on earth. Y’all will see her again. Until then she’ll be catching up with her loved ones that went before. She’ll be waiting for you when He calls you home. I can’t wait to see her garden. 🌸🌺🌹🌷 ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you my sweet friend!💞💞
Dear Teresa and family! With so many mixed thoughts we share your grief!! She didn’t wait for me to bring flowers!!! Praising the Great God of Heaven who takes His Children home!! Yet Mammy did not for one second hesitate and was proud to leave with Jesus when He came to escort her across Jordan. I loved her at the first minute I met her!! She was such an humble spirit yet I’m sure there was fire there where she needed it! She loved her family so and was so giving. She was my faithful prayer warrior, whenever I asked she would always respond!! Then she would later ask if Jesus had sent an answer!! Such a wonderful person, I will and do miss her too. God gave her to us for a little while and thankfully He allowed me to know her. Today she’s home with Jesus and Charles!!! Praise His Holy Name!!
We were blessed to be able to share her with you both!
Teresa & Family,
So sorry to hear about your mom passing. She was so sweet. I always enjoyed talking with her at
church. She was a blessing. I know how hard it is but you & I know she is in heaven with Jesus walking
on the streets of gold. I know God will give you grace to make it thru.
We love you & your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
