Poem Tribute:
"We had a wonderful mother, one who never really grew old.
Her smile was made of sunshine, and her heart was solid gold.
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars, and in her cheeks, fair roses bloomed.
We had a wonderful mother, and that’s the way it will always be.
But take heed because she’s still keeping an eye on all of us, So let’s ensure she’ll be pleased with what she sees."

Lovingly Daughter
Daretta -Rest in Peace, Mom.

There is a wound
Within my heart is deep and wide
And Never to be healed Its Left by the passing
Of my Mother, her candle suddenly snuffed
Out by a cruel illness. All that is left are the
Memories of our life as Mother and daughter to comfort Me as I carry on without you.

Your Daughter Yolanda Sue

A Beautiful Spirit

A beautiful spirit, gentle and kind,
You left us with memories etched in our minds.
Your laughter, your warmth, your tender embrace,

A heart full of gold now rests in heaven.
Though we miss you dearly, we find peace and light,
Knowing your spirit still soars in the night.

Rest now, sweet soul, in your well-earned peace,
Your love remains, and it will never cease

Psalm 23:1-4
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they c

Psalm 34:17-18
The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit

A Powerful Prayer for Upliftment and Enlightenment

Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your grace and mercy that sustain us every day. Lord, You are the source of all strength and wisdom, and we humbly ask that You pour out Your divine light upon us. Fill our minds with clarity and our hearts with peace, so that we may rise above the challenges before us.

Guide our steps, Lord, as we seek Your will in all that we do. Help us to walk in faith and not be swayed by fear, for we know that You are with us always. Renew our spirits with Your love, and ignite a fire of hope and joy deep within us.

When the weight of the world feels heavy, remind us of Your unfailing promise: that we are never alone, and that Your power is made perfect in our weakness. Lift us up, O Lord, so that we may soar on wings of faith, overcoming every obstacle by the strength You provide.

Let Your wisdom illuminate our paths, and may Your peace guard our hearts and minds in every season. Empower us to be vessels of Your light in the world, spreading kindness, love, and compassion to those around us. Help us to see every moment as an opportunity to glorify Your name and uplift others.

Father, we thank You for Your unwavering love, and we trust in Your plan for our lives. Let Your joy fill our souls and Your light guide our every decision. May we walk boldly in the purpose You have set before us, ever trusting in Your divine hand.

In Jesus' holy name, we pray.
