Another year has come and gone without having you here to celebrate your birthday with us. Although we are learning to adjust to that void it is still very difficult. May you continue to Rest In Peace with the angels and all who have passed on yonder. Happy Heavenly Birthday Bunt. Your light still shines bright to lighten my life. Love Always granny .

Sister Vera, one more year have past since that sad day when your loving Savior called you away. May you continue to Rest In Heavenly Peace. We all Loved and miss you dearly. Have a Happy Birthday

Thinking of you with Love Granny on what would have been your 100th Birthday.

Granny you were just a girl so many years ago. You had your loves you had your dreams.
You watched us come and go.
You watched us make the same mistakes.
That you had made before.
But that just made you hold us tight.
And love us even more.
We hadn't always thought about
The things that you have seen.
To us you've just been Granny.
No thought of who you've been.
But we remember now with Love
Your Life from start to end.
And we're so glad that we knew you,
As Granny and as friend.

You've always learned to watch for us.
Anxious if we were late.
In rainy seasons by the window.
In Summers by the gate.
And though we mocked you tenderly.
We had such foolish care.
The long way home would feel more safe. Because you waited there.
Your thoughts were all so full of us. 
You never would forget. .
And so we know that where you are.
You must be watching yet.
Waiting till we come home to you.
Anxious if we're late.
Watching from Heavens Window.
Leaning from Heavens Gate.

If flowers grow in Heaven Lord
Then pick a bunch for us.
Please place them in our Granny's hand
And tell her they're from us.
Tell her that we Love and miss her
And when she turns to smile.
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
We do it everyday
But there's an ache within our hearts
That will never go away.

Sleep in Eternal Peace Granny.

Dearest Granny

A Year in the absence of your Grace is nothing compared to a year in the Presence of your Guidance and Protection. I miss you Immensely, but learning to accept that you did all you were sent to do.

Continue to Rest in Eternal Peace.

Love Michelle xxxx

Dear Sister Vera,

Remembering you for all the good times we had living in Guyana as neighbors back in the 1950 and early 60"s which to me was more like living like family, I remember how you and my mother got along so well that Moms (mother Audrey as she was called) became God mother to one of your children (Sonia), I remember growing up from childhood to a young adult I could of come to you and discuss anything I need to know and your advise was always reasonable and inspiring, you are dearly missed by all continue to Rest In Eternal Peace having a wonderful Birthday with your Lord and Savior. 

Dearest Sister Vera,
Happy 99th Heavenly Birthday! I know the heavens are a tad bit brighter because you are there ! I imagine your laughter ringing through the air like champagne bubbles catching a ride on a rainbow. My vivid memories of you in Guyana is wrapped up in the warmth of your radiant smile and the overflow of the love from your heart that quickly enveloped us the moment we crossed your threshold. The timber of your voice is stamped in my mind because it had the perfect mix of sincerity and humor! You embodied creativity, love, joy, family, unconditional acceptance and I cherish all of the moments we were able to spend with you. Rest well Queen and in eternal peace . Love always❣️

THERE IS A FREEDOM IN THE WILDERNESS.

OF THE OCEAN AND THE WAVE.

THAT NEITHER HALTS NOR WAVERS.

NOR SEEKS THE SURGE TO STAVE.

BUT RATHER WITH ABANDON THROWS

ITSELF ITSELF UPON THE SHORE.

AND THUS, IN GIVING ALL AWAY, IT

BECOMES YET MORE.

SO MAY THAT SAME ABANDON HAVE IT'S 

WAY WITH YOU.

MAY ALL YOU HAVE AND ALL YOU GIVE.

FLOW FROM THE HEART SO FREE.

THAT NEVER IS THERE LESS, BUT ALWAYS

ONLY MORE TO THE RHYTHM OF THAT

INWARD TIDE ON YOUR ETERNAL SHORE.

My Beloved Mother! What a Woman! What a void you have left behind.

You are a Legend!! The mould was broken when you were created, there isn't ,and could never be another like you.

This candle is lit today to celebrate your 99th Birthday. With love in our hearts and immense grief we so wish you were still here with us. But it's obvious that the Heavenly Father had better things prepared for you to do beside him.

You are a Legend!! The mould was shattered when you were created, there could never, ever be another like you.

You have left so much of yourself behind, when you were called to fulfilled your ultimate occupation serving our Dear Lord.

Your Legacy will live on in each and everyone of us so sadly left behind. As we are all part of you.

"Dearest Beloved Mother" I shall continue to love you for the rest of my life and beyond with joy in my heart, knowing that the day is rapidly approaching when we shall meet once again to continue our special relationship.

Grief is so difficult to cope with, but I know that you are looking down on all of us and keeping us safe.

" Rest in Eternal Peace" My Beloved, until we meet again..

You are unique. There could never be another like you. Your legacy will live on forever in my heart and mind.
  "I LOVE YOU MUM, MORE TODAY
THAN I DID YESTERDAY. AND WILL DO
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN."

Dear Granny,

Today you would have been 99 years young. I was certain that we would be celebrating your 100th in a grand fashion but God had other plans. It’s with a burdened heart and unceasing tears I wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday. On this day exactly 365 days ago you celebrated your 98th birthday with me and the rest of the family. Had I known that February 19th, 2020 was the last day I would ever kiss your cheek and feel your warmth. Feed you, hold your soft hands and look into your loving eyes I WOULD HAVE NEVER LET GO!

Granny you were my tower of strength, comfort and hope. As far back as I can recall, you were the face I saw. YOU were the one I ran to when I was hurt, when I needed advice or a shoulder to cry on. YOU were there for my every need and I could never abandon that unconditional love you’ve shown me and all the valuable lessons you've taught me. Over the years in my quiet time I have acknowledged that if not for your presence in my life only God knows. I am most grateful that I had the opportunity to share with you how much you have truly impacted my life just as you did for countless other family and friends.

Vera Battice it’s BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME, I’m able to be the woman I am today. It’s because of your stern and valuable parental style I’m able to be the proud wife and mother I am. Because you loved me, I dared to dream, to overcome obstacles thrown my way and reach for the absolute best. All those lessons you instilled in me I will never depart from. Deviating from them would only mean that I’m devaluing a great legacy of love, confidence, faith, hope, trust, vision, ambition, strength and I could go on and on. Those things are dear to me and I would NEVER LET GO!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Granny! As you dance and celebrate with Albert Battice, grand dad, Mussy, Peter, Eustace, Sexy, Cousin Eve, Mavis, Florie, Christine, Neville and all the wonderful family and friends. I hope you know that here on earth we will continue to celebrate YOU each and every day of our lives. Your Legacy will live on in all of your children, grand children, great and great great grands. Chelsea and Mason love and miss you immensely and asks about you quite often.

Like Georgia granny, YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND. I love you, Sleep in Peace my Queen Mother, always in my heart.

Dearest Granny

Tonight I Light a Candle and say a Prayer because I know your Love will continue to Light The Way.

I pray you'll be our eyes, And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise, In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, When we lose our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us Faith so we'll be safe

I pray we'll find your light, And hold it in our hearts
When stars go out each night, Remind us, where you are.
Let this be our prayer, When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that's broken will be mended
As we remember, we are all God's Children
Reaching out to touch you, Reaching to the Sky.

We ask that life be kind, And watch us from above
We hope each soul will find, Another soul to love

Let this be our prayer, Just like every child,
Need to find a place, Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Love Michelle

Dearest Granny

Today I lay a flower to remind me that from God All Life Flows but from Love All Families Grow

Love you Always

Dearest Granny

As I Celebrate you today I want you to know that no matter how far away you are, you are always Home to Me. For Home is in My Heart where you will ALWAYS Be. I understand why you had to go, but it doesn't mean I was ready to let you go. All the words in all the books cannot describe what you mean to me.

Its because of You, I Can
Its because of You, I Will
It's because of YOU, I AM

Continue to Rest in Eternal Peace and Rest Assured that I will Ensure your Legacy Continues to Rise in Abundance.

Love

Dear Mum

Today I celebrate your 99 birthday without you here but I can still see and hear you, and always will. Thank you for my life, your love and for letting me be part off this great family that you created.

Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
he only takes the best,
Although your heart stopped beating,
Your love will always remain,
Your absence puts upon our hearts,
A very heavy strain.
For now you are in a place of everlasting rest,
We just have to understand that God,
He only takes the best.


We miss you dearly.
