Dear Mama,
    I miss talkng to  you and seeing you every day. I can't believe you have been gone so long! The time we spent together went by like a flash. Please hug my Mama and Daddy in heaven, I miss all of you so much, I carry you in my heart everyday,my heart is overjoyed with memories of all your love.
 

We little knew that God was going to call your name. In Life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same, you did not go alone, for part of us  went with you
lthe day God called you home. You left behind us beauttful memories, your love is stil our guide, and though we cannor see you. You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same but  God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again. 

To: Len & Willie


Mama is always with you...She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She's the smell of bleach on your freshly laundered socks. She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well.
Mama  lives inside your laughter. She's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the
map you will follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first hearbreak.......  and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time. Not space, not
even death will ever seperate you from Mama . You carry her inside of you!        


  

A  letter from Heaven

To my Dearest  family, Some things I'd  like  to say. But first of all , to let you know , that  I  arrived  okay . I'm writing this  from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there is no more tears of sadness; Here is just  eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I am out of sight. Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.

That day  I  had to leave  you  when  my  life on  earth was  through. God picked me up and hugged me and He said :

"I welcome you, It's  good  to have you  back  again, you  were missed  while  you were gone. As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on. I  need  you here so badly, you  are part  of my plan. There is so much that we can do, to  help our  mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on  the  list, was  to watch and care for you. And  when you  lie in bed at  night  the days chores  put  to flight. God  and  I are closest  to you....

in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years. Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do  not be afraid to  cry; it does  relieve  the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless  there was some  rain. I wish  that  I could  tell  you  all  that God  has planned. If I were  to  tell you , you wouldn't understand. But one thing is  for  certain, though  my life on earth is over. I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are rocky roads ahead of you and many  hills  to climb;  But  together  we  can  do it by taking  one day at a time.

It was always my  philosophy and  I'd like it  for  you too;  That as you give  unto  the world, the world will give  to  you. If  you  can  help  somebody who  is in sorrow  and  pain; Then  you  can  say  to God at night....My day was not in vain. And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile. Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. So

  if  you  meet  somebody  who  is  sad  and feeling  low; Just  lend a hand to pick them up, as on your  way  you  go. When  you’re walking  down  the street  and you've got me on  your mind; I'm  walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when its time for you to go...from that body to be free. Remember you’re not going...you are coming here to me.

Mama Algie  Rutlege Harris was born Novemmber 13, 1923  to the late Nelson and Mattie Rutledge. Mama  has 2 loving sons who were always by her side, Leonard Rutledge, Detroit Michigan- and Willie Walker of Selma, Alabama.

Reese.  She worked faithfully and actively in the Mother's Ministry as a mentor and Sunday School Teacher, she used her musical talent in the Ebeneezer Chorus.

Mama could dress and wear a hat like no other woman. She was loved by so many people,she touched the hearts of the young as well as the elder, I felt as if she was my mother.This lady had so much wisdom, so much pride.

That's Mama.... always wearing a beautiful smile, her  words were always inspirational,her sweet spirit would light up a room, she loved her family and friends so much.  We are missing  an angel,  the Lord used her to be his angel, she went away to help us get it together  down here. She will  live on in our hearts forever, she made one request,  "That my family will keep serving the Lord, and  to really, really,  love one another" her request is being granted by those  who really knew her, she was a very Special Ladyl, We love you Mama, forever.                      
 
 
Happy Birthday in Heaven Mama, "Your Family"    We Miss You!
