My dearest departed sister, it’s been five years since you left us to be in a better place without pain and suffering.
It was very difficult leaving you in the hospital that Wednesday in September; but as we hugged I said see you on Friday. Little did I know that Friday was many many years away in Heaven.
I can’t say you left us because I talk to you almost everyday when something comes up that we used to talk and laugh about.
When I pray for you and all our deceased loved ones, I end with 3 Amens because Selena remembered you used to say Amen 3 times.
You will never be forgotten because your name is mentioned so often amongst us. You are now safe in the arms of the lord. As we here amongst the living pray for your soul. Pray for all your loved ones amongst the living. Your children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews. Say hello to Dad, Mom, Grammer, MONICA, Hilton and Gary.
May All your souls RIP and may God’s Perpetual Light shine before all of you, AMEN,AMEN,AMEN
Dearest Mom, it’s been over 4 years since you have transitioned to a place without the suffering that ended your time with us. I recall being there in the hospital room and knowing that our time together was coming to an end. I could not believe that the person who provided such comfort and support to us was going through such a hard time and we were powerless to soothe. I was only comforted in knowing that your true faith in the almighty meant that you were not as afraid of the future as I was. Mom, we all miss you. We all have you in our hearts and I am confident that I will reunite with you again one day. Thank you for keeping watch over us all and leaving us with fond memories of your laughter, love of music and family. Rest in eternal Peace Mom.
Grandma Angela, today marks 4 years since you ascended to a higher place. It wouldn’t feel right to say you’ve left us because your presence and guidance is as strong as ever. I sit here this evening with Asia, recalling the countless ways you’ve influenced us in becoming the resilient adults we see today. We can only hope the plate we’ve fixed for you is as soul-enriching as your cooking was for us.
The growth I’ve made as a person these past four years is due in large part to utilizing the wisdom you imparted on me growing up. I am forever grateful that you trusted such young ears with subtle gifts of gold that is often lost on most adults let alone a child. You recognized a certain hunger for something deeper I can’t quite put words to, and nourished a sprouting force into something that is sometimes beyond my comprehension. The fleeting hints of your perfume every now and then serves as validation in my endeavours. Each month I find myself discovering more of the creative ways you reach out to me. When I fear I’m alone, the trace of your bangled hand can be felt rubbing my back the same way it did when we’d ride the VIA rail through the country.
I think of you always and love you forever.
Grandma, it has been nearly four years since you crossed over. Life has not been the same without you. You were one of the brightest lights of my life, and I can’t help but feel regrets that I wasn’t there with you when you left us. I miss you so much. I’m so sorry I didn’t call you more when you were sick, I hope you can feel how much I regret that, and how much I love and miss you, from wherever you are now. I think of you every day, and wish I could have told you how much I love you in person one last time. But I will continue to do so now, because I know you are not truly gone, and that you can hear me. Thank you for being my guiding light even to this day, and for protecting and watching over me as I grow up. I’ll be graduating from college this year. I wish you could be there physically to see me walk across the stage, but I know you are always with me in spirit and will be there on that day. I promise to pray to you & speak to you more often so you know you are not forgotten. I love you.
The Lord called for help and you lovingly answered “here I am Lord ,I come to do your will.”
Safe in His arms you are resting-A peaceful Lady of such strong faith. We didn’t get to say goodbye but we know that you were all prepared for whenever Jesus knocked at the door of your heart. May the Lord continue to bless Pat , Terry ,Ed their families and the rest of your family .May you Rest in Peace
Didn’t know you long, but thank you for the prayers and encouragement that you left me with. Sorry I didn’t get to know you better and was away when you moved to Heaven. I will be glad to spend more time with you later when we live together with our Lord and Saviour whom you loved so. Sorry about your great loss, Pamela and the rest of those whose lives Angela blessed. Sleep sweetly my sister
My sincere condolences to you Pam and to your siblings, family and to all whom loved this most amazing and passionate woman of God.
Your memory remains a great light to all those whom crossed your path, of the incredibly rich testimony of Jesus Christ, that He was sinless and willingly died on our behalf; and that for those whom receive the truth, are reconciled and justified before the Father, and receive abundant grace and will reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
I am so thankful and blessed to have known you dear Angela, even though a short few years. It was ordained from above and I will never forget the mark you impressed upon me.
Thank you for your love, your prayers and phone calls. Thank you for being a woman of integrity who stood your ground, for knowing who you were, Whose you were and for walking in it regardless of the times and changing world view.
I so look forward to seeing you again, praying with and worshipping God with you again. There is not enough space here to write of all the goodness you gave in your time here. However, I want your family to know that I honour you, I respect you and that I love you. You will be so dearly missed and never forgotten. So many little things will bring your memory to mind. Thank you for continuing to bless me and give in these ways even though you are journeying in the perfect place of Love now. I’m so glad that you have now entered into the sweetest place that you have always treasured. Praise Jesus!! I so miss and love you!!
