Auntie Doris was part of my family as my Aunt Angela was married to her uncle.
I came to know Auntie Doris on a personal level over 10 years ago when I relocated from Miami to NYC and we spent time together. 
Auntie Doris was a very simple human being , kind, honest and with integrity. She accepted individuals as they were and saw the Goodness in each person. She always had kind words to say in her gentle voice.
She was loved by some and respected by others.
She will be dearly missed as she had touched the lives of many including myself. She was truly grateful to her dearest son Dudley Labor, whom she loved/adored.
She is gone but not forgotten and at rest and peace with her Maker.
Adios my gentle Auntie Doris.

I miss you, Mummy. The signs that you were about to leave us were there, but I refused to accept them; I turned a blind eye to them. Instead I told you to relax and sleep so you would wake up feeling better and recover your health.
Lo and behold you were to sleep forever. You have slept and taken your rest. Glory be to God!
I thank God for giving you a fulfilled life; I thank God for delivering you from the pain and suffering of the last few days and I thank God that you said your good byes.
Sleep on and take your rest, Mummy.

RIP, my class 3 teacher! I’ll never forget you. Thanks for your patience and discipline in equal measure, to us at that tender age and stage. You were a ‘safe’ pair of hands for us. Take your rest now, dear Mrs. Labour.

Victor, Jacqueline and Sadia Clarke.

On this Christmas day 2020, I look back. Mummy was alive and well on this day one year ago. She danced, she ate and drank, she marveled as she always does on Christmas lights, and the Christmas tree. She was satisfied. You see it in her eyes!
A hymn came to mind today as we enter the final week of this annus horribilis 2020..words by Nahum Tate, one of our many family's favourite."Through all the changing scenes of life." Shakespeare aptly puts it "the world is a stage, we are mere players in it, they have their exits and entrances." It reminds me of her kind humility, the peace she enjoyed through Christ trusting in Him is good advice to remember, from God through the writer via my dear mother, looking forward to talking to her again in our dear Lord's presence but even more to seeing our savior!

I was literally in tears because it seemed like I just saw her not too long ago and she was looking fine and well. She was a woman of little words but when she spoke... she spoke gentle and so sweet. I never seen this lady make a frown or get upset. Thats what I really adored about her. She kept me in great prayers and offered and poured out her blessings to me when I was sick and also during the passing of my little sister. I will forever always cherish her ❤ kind words and thoughts. Im so sorry for your loss, Alan Labor. Although I had no relation to Ms. Doris, she was known to me as Grandma Labor. That goes to show you how amazing and grand her existence was to me. She will forever be in my heart and memories. Until we meet again, you will be missed & loved Ms. Doris!!

                         "god mammie"
My godmother was like a mother: Kind, loving, big bright smiles with outstretched arms for hugs that welcomes you dearly.

Yes, my godmother was gracious and brought joy and happiness to not only me but all my many cousins and my two siblings who stole her from me as soon as they were able to talk. "They all called her godmammie" and with the same love she embraced them all.

Yes, my godmother drove me to summer school in her car so I could work on my English Language and Math skills. Nervous as I was, she made me believe in myself and my place in the school even though I never attended a "private school" during regular school times. Subsequently I made good grades and got accepted into my High school of choice, MGHS without a hitch, yes she was an educator.

My godmother was like a mother: Embracing my now spouse of 25 years, when I introduced him to her and told her we were planning on getting married in less than a year.
Oh, what great advice she gave us with honesty and love.
Oh, what a party she had for us;
Yes, my godmother continued to call on anniversaries, and birthdays, not only for me, but my children as well.

It was a blessing to let her meet my younger daughter in person this very year in January. I never thought we would be saying goodbye to her in December.

I will never forget the screams from myself and all my cousins every time she visits-"godmammie don cam" as we run towards her, We always get her arms stretched out for sweet, tight genuine hugs and bright smiles.
I will never forget her.

Rest in perfect peace Mrs. Doris Labor.

Gra' ma D,
I'm very much grateful for your life! Yes, it is sad things ended they way it did: Your death was unexpected, gra'ma, it was! But it goes on to show that despite the illness, you were a very strong woman! and one that loved and credited the Lord for everything you were and possessed. Moreover, when I look back at the things God showered you with, I'm more than grateful and forever will be!You just did not keep those blessings to yourself, but you sincerely and generously shared them with others regardless of who they were.- your life definitely was not a waste, but was full and quite rich! All this and more I'm thoroughly thankful for- it makes your passing a little less sour. I'm glad for everything you were gra'ma. You'd be missed, but definitely not forgotten. Rest on, gra'ma.

How do I describe my mother ?:
She was a loving, caring, devoted child, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother with a quiet disposition, lover of peace and tranquility, humble with an ever present sweet smile.
A hard working, conscientious and reliable teacher, head teacher and principal, strict, big on discipline but all with a soft touch.
A philanthropist, who will give to others and deprive herself.
A selfless person, who took nothing for granted and appreciated everything
A Christian believer who firmly put her trust in God in all that she did
Goodness, Mercy and Peace surrounded her all through her years.
She was adventurous, travelled, always willing to learn new things, tried different cuisines, embrace other cultures and enjoyed the presence of other people.
Meticulous about her health, and being an educator, she would ask about basic health practices and practice them, read magazines, "google" and research health conditions.
A track and field enthusiast, even in her old age she would engage in basic exercises.
She lived a long, healthy life full of joy, always grateful for her children, grand children, great grandchildren even at her last days on this earth.
Mummy lived a good, healthy, long life until she finally slept away into the bosom of almighty God. She proclaimed she was JOYFUL, and so she entered just as she lived, joyfully, peacefully and quietly without a fuss!
There is so much more!!
Rest in Peace Mummy, If Love would have saved you, you would not have died!
