I Remember  / Alene Spurlock (daughter)

Dear Mom, How many things did you do without because of other people's sorryness? They are using Daddy and everyone else  just the way they used you and they are about to use him up too. Love you forever, Alene

HE SET ME FREE  / ROSALIE (BREWER) SIMPSON (DAUGHTER)
Mom, i miss you so much and we use this to help us say what we feel  inside,but i read something and if you could tell us what you was feeling this is what i think you would say

Don't grieve for me now i'm free
I'm following the path god made for me
I took his hand when i heard him call
I turned my back and left it all
I could not start another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found peace at the close of the day
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy
A frienship shared,a laugh ,a kiss
Oh yes these things i too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved oned touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don't lenthen it now, with undue grief
Lift up your heart and share with me
GOD WANTED ME NOW --- HE SET ME FREE

     MOMMY , YOUR GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
                                             LOVE ROSALIE Close

Dear Granny Alice  / Ellie Brewer-Sparks (Oldest Grandchild )
Some of the best memories of my life include you. Being your oldest Grandchild I am glad that I was the one who got to spend the most time with you. I just wish that we would have had a little more time together before you were taken home to be with Jesus. You had a strenght that I have never seen in anyone else. You know one of my many favorite memories I have of you was when I was in grade school. You had just underwent chemo and lost all of your hair and I was riding the bus home one day and saw you in the front yard planting your favorite little flowers (the ones that would pop if you squeezed them) and you had a huge smile on your face and all I could think was that you had been through so much and you still wanted to make the world beautiful for everyone to see. I knew then that you were more special than anyone could have imagined. But like I said that is only one of my favorite memories. There is still the memory of us laying on your couch watching The Young and the Restless, the memory of all the slush puppies you had waiting for me when I got home from school, the memory of all the chocolate gravy that you would still make for me even after you were at the end of your illness just because you knew that I loved it, the light in your eyes when your whole family was together, and the joy I saw on your face when we would sing Beulah Land in church. Like I said I am glad that I am the one that got to be your oldest grandchild and have you in my life the longest.  Close

Thank You  / Aline (Daughter)

My heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who has posted a tribute or lit a candle on this site. It has been a blessing to read all of the wonderful words writted about Mom. I am so glad I made this site.
I have shed a lot of tears reading the things written about our dear mother. It has been tears of joy just knowing that everyone else remembered her as I did. Wonderful, Loving, Kind, and Generous to all.
