May the God we serve give you peace and strength during this time. I had the opportunity to meet your Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt and Friend over 20 years ago. I was teaching at South Highland Elementary School. She would sometime sub for my class when i was out. Our conversations were always about the God our father and how He wants to take us the next level. When she learned that I was the minister of music at my church we would strike up a song together and sing. She would say you are just a man of worship. When she moved to montgomery I would see her from time to time and was greeted with a big smile. Also, before we would leave she would always ask about my wife and son. May God continue to bless you as you gain strenght and power. Amen.................
My friend
Carolyn and I went to school together from 7th grade until senior high. We were friends for many years until I moved to Florida and lost touch with her. Just last year I found her on facebook. When we spoke on the phone she filled me in on what had happened in her life and I told her what had gone on with me. We talked for hours. It was like we had never been away from each other. She told me how she was excited about the grandchild that was on the way, how proud she was of her children and what fun she had on a cruise with Tina. To me she was always a friend. To the family, I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep you all in my prayers. May God bless you all.
Our Times
Auntie Carolyn
I was your baby before you had any, I stuck up under you all the time ...you nick named me pooh...We had a bond that was soooo thick. You took time out to teach me a lot of things that my mom said her nerves werent good enough for. When my faults surfaced you wiped my face and told me I wasnt the first nor the last...You prayed with me, for me and along side me. When I got in trouble and my mom would fuss you would fuss at her for fussing at me. Even when i got grown and went through trials of my own you were still there. Telling me that It wasnt in the will of God. You encouraged me, never belittled me, or scorned me. Even when I got my attitudes and didnt call for a while, when I did you answered and acted as if nothing happened. Anytime I called day or night, you were coming all you needed to know was when and where you needed to be and you were there. You were there for my girls during their events , when my mom wasnt feeling good and couldnt make it . It was hard telling my mom when she finally came around from all the meds, she woke at about 3 am and demanded a phone in the icu unit she was calling you she knew you were suppose to be there. She wakes up to you every morning and she went to sleep talking to you every night. Now she stays up let her know that you're ok so she can rest.
Coming to Montgomery will never be the same, knowing I cant call you and say We're in the gump lets grab a bite. Jalisa wanted to go Hibachi the other day they gave us your favorite spot and we didnt even ask for it. We set there and for some reason we couldnt get up after finishing... A lady that we have never laid eyes on before stopped and said somethings to us...we werent crying or even talking about what was going on...and she gave us a powerful word and it was sent from God and we were in tears all over again..But I promise to be there for Jerry Jalisa Paris and Ahmarri just like you were for me...We arent considering this as a funeral, its a celebration you are going on to be with Aunt Jean, Elder Fitz and Grandma....send my love
