I needed The Quiet
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside,
Into the shadows where we could confide.
Away from the bustle where all the day long
I hurried and worried when active and strong.

I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled
But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To heights never dreamed of when active and gay.
He loves me so greatly He drew me away.
I needed the quiet. No prison my bed,
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead –
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide.
I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.

Mom
Mom words can’t express how my heart feels, but I do know you’re in amazing hands. Mom you gave me 43
years of unconditional love and I’m grateful. Mom you taught me so many wonderful things, you took time to
always listen to me you loved me with all your heart you never steered me wrong, you always supported me
with whatever it was and you was stubborn at times. Mom you will always be in my heart. Mom I know
you’re at peace, so I’m at peace.
By His stripes, Mom you are healed.

A Letter to My TeTe
I have so much to say, how do I tell you I’m going to forever miss you!? All those late night 2 to 3 hour conversations
we had. Me listening to you tell me how I could be a better man, you making sure I was leading by example. I’m going
to miss the smile on your face, your smile always made me smile. When you were down, I was too. Now that you’re
gone, I’m asking myself, “What do I do when I need the better man talk, to laugh or just simple words of
encouragement?” I know you’re here in the spirit but TeTe its definitely not the same. Even through the text messages
we’ve shared, I feel I can hear your voice, the tone, what mood you were in… We shared a bond that was unbreakable.
I don’t know why The Man upstairs does what He does and I know I shouldn’t ask questions but I wish I could pick
up the phone and have a Man to man talk with Him. Although I know you’re in a better place and He needed you
more. I don’t mind being a little selfish when I say “you were in a better place here on earth.” Just to have you a little
while longer. You’ve done me well TeTe. You’ve showed me what unconditional love feels like. And for that I’m
forever grateful. Until we meet again.
Your Big Baby (Mariell)
If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my grandmas arms
And tell her there from me
And when she turns and smiles
Give her a kiss for me
And hug her for a while
Remembering her will be easy
But there is a ache in my heart
That will never go away
Love Your Grandson

Tributes
A Loving Sister
To My Queen
You’re the best sister ever. I had so many
sleepless nights, listening to you and Alex
enjoying the nights of talking and playing
games. I know now how precious time can be.
Oh Lord I wish that it could be… Please let me
just keep the memories of my loving sister and
may you Rest in Heaven until we meet again
Sis.
Love Connie & Alex
Big Sis.
You have left me but I spent every
day with you. I know you are in
heaven with Kennieth, Mom and
Dad. You was a mother to me.
When you told me not to do
something I didn’t but I love you.
I know I have faith it’s in
Hebrews 1:14 and I will truly
miss you talking to me.
Love Shirley (Antonette)
