March 21

Happy birthday mom, it been a while I've talked to you but be assured, I never forgotten you one bit. As I get older in today's time, things seem to get a little more crazier. Faster times, you never get anything completed or started on time. God has taken two precious people away from me, you and Mary. I miss the other members of our family as well, I can't share my heart with you completely without thinking of Mary, who was killed three days after your birthday. She died with great pain of agony and hurt watching her son get shot in the head and pain she felt herself being shot in the stomach, jaw and finally a shot to her head as well. Oh, mom how my heart ache. I miss you so much, I have no one to lay my head on and talk about my deepest troubles that understands. I knew a lot of times you couldn't fix them but, your words of encouragement were comforting, and I miss that. GOD said, when he returns, we will be together again. I hope we will be as we are in real life, with the same feelings of love forever and ever lasting. The rest of the family is doing ok, Barbara is quite sick, I don't think she will be with us for long, she's suffering from lung cancer I think in the final stages. Also, Byron past away in 2023. Let continue to pray for her and Tony. I wish you were here to see all of your great-great-grandkids; they would love you to death. I know you would bring happiness to their live as you did ours.
I love and miss you mom. I want you to know when I come to DC, I always visit your resting place as well as Big Mom, Basil and Delores to share my love. Also, I'm sad to say that Byron past away in 2023. Our family is getting smaller.
With loving thoughts, I extend my love for you until I see you again,. Anthony

Another birthday has come 91 yrs., I didn't forget you on the 21st, just couldn't bear to write anything. I really miss the days we talked on the phone sometime 2-3 times a day. Your birthday was always something special, a lot of times I was out of town working but never forgot to call you. I wished I had the means to do more for you, so many things you missed out on. Then again it was hard to get you out of the house, especially traveling. Now, I understand why, at 71 it is more comfortable sitting at home just thinking about those places, the mind wants too but the body says no. Mom you are loved and missed greatly. Soon it will be my time to rest, I just pray that when I awaken my sins would have been forgiven, so that we can be together again and family members eternally. Love you mom.

It's a day after Thanksgiving and you fill my mind with so many wonderful memories when we were kids. I can still recall and remember the smells of Thanksgiving flowing through the house on 1st street, you and Big Mom preparing dinner a day before Thanksgiving Day. We as kids taking our baths getting ready for church the next morning. The best time for me was watching you and Big Mom making yeast rolls, setting them aside so they can rise before being baked, making the cakes, patiently awaiting to lick the spoon and bowl. And, that turkey, the main feature of the feast, it looked so big too big for the pan that was used to cook it and the paper bag to cover it while cooking as we were in church. Those were the good old days, I always looked forward for those days to repeat itself.
Now added to my sorrows is knowing that you and Mary will not be a physical part of our Thanksgiving celebration. My heart is deeply broken, my two best loves taken away from my life. It was so hard on me losing you and Big Mom, but terrifying and devastating losing Mary and Atif, this stripped me of everything. Memories, love, broken heart and tears is all I am left with. Mom, I'm waiting on God to fix things as He promised. I want all of us to be together again.I Love you

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to my mom who has been at rest for 15 years now. Time has passed by so quickly; it seems only a few months since you've been gone. I pray, when you are awakened that our family will be united again as GOD promised. I can't wait to see you again with the rest of our family members rejoicing and praying to the Father Everlasting. At this time sorrow fills my heart but joy will fill my soul when Jesus returns. What a joyous day it will be to see you. I Love you mom.

Mom, it's been a while since I last visited, it didn't mean that I've forgotten about you. I miss you every single day. My stomach and heart hurt just to know that I can't speak to you or give you a hug. I was just wondering while you were here, did I hug and kiss you every time I came to the house. Mom, I knew and understand that this was going to happen, but I didn't think that it would be that soon. I wanted to acknowledge your birthday, wishing you were here so I could say Happy Birthday and make a fuss over you. How about another rock in the box, ha ha. I still remember that day when you were certain that something was heavy in the present, I gave you and how you laugh for so long when you found the rock. I still have the rock on my table to remind me of that day. Mary and little Aftif were murdered last year March 24th by her boyfriend. Mommy, he killed my babies and left them locked in a room for two days before they were found. The 24th will be here in a couple of days and the terror, hurt and pain coming on strong and feeling as if it was yesterday. Mom, we discussed the main reason that taken you away from us, it was that you never got over losing Delores, grief. I feel the same way, a double dose of grief. Mary was 39 and Aftif was 15. This is eating at me like a cancer, I can't shake the pressure and burning pain all over my body. And now we learn that Lindsey's son Eathan, has Artimus. GOD said that He will not place a load on us that we can't bear that bear, I can hardly walk. I wish you were here so that we can talk, I miss that everyday talk on the phone. I Love you Love you, Mom and miss you beyond measure. Well ma, let me put on a face and be the big brother for the rest of the family. I Love you very much.

I haven't forgotten March 21st, or can never forget the day you left us. The late reason is, I just couldn't get myself together to say miss you without tears flowing,14 years seem like yesterday. At your days of rest I hope you can feel the presence of Delores, Basil, Mary and your great grandson Afits. Yes, mom my heart is truly broken. I know GOD loves me, but I feel that he is punishing me by taking away the ones I Love so very much. I just want a few more years with my family. I pray that we will see each other and rejoicing living life forever, no more tears, pain, sickness, sadness, and death is no more. We will be together to praise GOD the Father. Until then, I Love you and rest in peace Mom.

This is mom's best season. She would go all out to make sure things were set up just right, the house would be filled with pine and food cooking. We didn't recive the best of things at Christmas but, she made us feel as we had it all, her love for us was like a river overflowing it's banks, overabundance of love. To think, she did this each year even after we were grown. That's what I miss the most, her unselfish love. Friends we take for granted that our parents would be here forever, but forever is so short in our life cycle. Cherish ever minute with your love ones, time is too short. Merry Christmas mom. I love you.

March 21, 2020

Mom, wishing you blessings from GOD during your restful sleep. Your birthday has come upon us again a painful reminder of how much you are missed. Nothing or no one can ever take your place in my heart. You gave your children so much love through your sacrifice above your own, too great to measure. I thank you for your love, teachings and allowing us to grow. We will see you again at the resurrection from Jesus Christ. Then we will be a family again, with wives , husbands, kids, grand kids, and generations of family members living eternal. Love you mom.

My mother would turn 87 today had she lived. Her memories are fresh in my heart, I find myself picking up the phone to call her at times. People tell me to let go, honestly, I'll never let go, I love her too much. Besides Jehovah, she was my rock full of love for her children. I Love You Mom Blessed Birthday.....Anthony

Mom, 11years has past and your passing seems as fresh as today.
What hurt the most is, I can't call you to talk, telling you about my day and events, and listening to your to what you had to say. December is apon us and my stomach is beginning to knot up knowing that this is your most favorite time of year, getting ready for Christmas and all it's pageantry. I think back to my young childhood days . You did your best to make Christmas special and a happy event for each of us through out the years and, you did. Even today I look back, I can still see you excited in preparations for Christmas, I miss that the most. Mom, you taught and showed us what it was to have love for each other as a family. It tears me up inside when that love bond is broken by death, our family is getting smaller. I thank GOD that death can not stop the bond of love we have for each other or erase the memory of our loved ones. As I go through my last years of life here on earth, I will continue to carry your sprit in my heart and doing my best to make you proud. I Love Mommy, your son...

It's been several days past the day GOD called mom to rest. Couldn't bring myself to write in her memory. It's unbelievable that ten years have past, it feels as if she died last year, the pain is still great. At times I got mad at her because she was sick all the time and wanted her well, knowing that she couldn't do anything about it differently. I was scared not mad realizing this later I know now that we can not undue what GOD has planned or has in motion. I hope she knew that she was loved deeply before her passing. If she could hear me, I continue to say, Mom I love you until the day it's time for me to rest. I LOVE YOU MOM.

March 22, 2017

Well mom it's that time of year that we generally wish you an Happy Birthday but , now it's just a remembrance of your date of birth. I can still remember the days we showered you with our love gifts and watched the joy on your face as the family gathered around. I would give anything to be still doing it. I miss you so much, every single day. I can't believe that it is almost 10 years that you left us. It would have meant so much to me for you witness the birth of your great - great grandson and my ordainment as a Pastor and the growth of the rest of the family. Mom, when you laid down to rest Luz stepped in to fill the void but soon after, Jehovah laid her to rest also, now I'm morning two moms. Unbelievable and heartbreaking the way things turned out, you left too soon. It's breaks my heart to even think about it, ten years later and the tears still flows. I can still hear your voice call out, sometime it catches me off guard and I look around or answer. Mom, I still pray for you and our other family members that are sleeping and I do believe that we all will be united together again. Ohh, what joy it will be. Jesus promised us in John 3:15 that we would have eternal life after resurrection." I Love you mommy" and if you were still alive " Happy Blessed Birthday"

December 10, 2016

Hi mom, this is the time of season that you love the most. If you were still here, I can see you in my mind getting the house all festive ready for Christmas, calling to get help to put up your outside lights. I miss those days, I miss you and family laughter. Your love for us was the glue that kept our family together and no solvent was strong enough or able to separate us, not even today. You did your best to make us strong and able to stand on our own. I thank God for the time we had with you but, being selfish, I say it was too short. I had lots more hugs, kisses and "I Love You"s stored inside me for you. Mom, as old as I am, I deeply miss you and don't understand why thing have to be this way. I know GOD didn't intend it to be this way, it still doesn't ease the emptiness I have in my heart for you, Basil, and Delores. With GOD's promise our family will be together again and we will not ever die or hurt or get sick. But until then, I hope you know that my heart cries out for you with every heart beat. Merry Christmas mom," I Love You".

No greater sacrifice can a mother give to her children and family than putting there needs and welfare above hers. My mother was a prime example and mold breaker, no other like her. We had little, but our home was an open house to neighbors, friends, family, and at times, strangers that needed help. Her teachings were to put GOD first, have love for all, and help others less fortunate. I didn't understand then, the order of what to put first, beside myself growing up but, as I got older, mommy, I got it. .....I can't explain the emptiness in my heart or the Love loss now that you are called to sleep. I Love and miss you so much, but GOD saw your suffering and said it was your time to rest. Mom, you will always be with me and soon we all will be together again, I Love you. Your Son.

Her Life

August 5, 2020

It's been 13 years today, that GOD called you to a restful sleep, but it still feel heavy as if it was yesterday. Missing you so much, I find myself fighting the erg to call you at times . I just want to put my arms around you, kiss you on the side of your face and to whisper in your ear that I love you. I yearn to hear you laugh, complain of your pains, share your uneventful day, but most of all , to hear your voice. Thank you mom for being my mother and wish for a few more years to have been able to let you know how much you meant to us. Rest in GOD's Loving Peace until He call us all home. Your first Born.

My Mom

I will forever miss my mother. Mary Carlene Lindsay, strong, loving, caring and faith-filled woman. She brought in the world eight (8) children all different in character with one common denominator loving her and being loved by her. Often I hear her through my own words to my kids. So many times I wish I could talk to her and hear her voice. Being without her is such a loss. My kids had a very short time to get to know her, however the impact still lingers in their memory and periodically at different times of course one of them will say I miss grandma. I have only one regret. I wish I would have went with her to the Bahamas instead to sending her close girlfriend. I have thought about the missed opportunity to be with her on that vacay to share putting our feet in the sand and listening to Caribbean music together.

Mom I am forever grateful to GOD for blessing me with a mother of your statue I hope that I am instilling in my children what you gave me. Love you with my whole heart for eternity.

Moms Rock in the box

March 22, 2017

It was Moms Birthday or at Christmas I can't remember, Yolanda and myself brought mom a present. A large wrapped box. She was downstairs sitting at the table in he night gown having her coffee when we arrived. The box took up a lot of space on thethe table and she was inquisitive what was in it. She began to unwrap the box. She also notice that the box was heavy. This really got her attention of intrest. Opening the the lid, pulling papers out, she came across a small box the size of a necklase case or ring box. Mom sat that aside still looking for the bigger prize. I couldn't help from laughing. Mom kept asking "What's in this thing?" I wouldn't answer. Finally she got to the end and pulled out a large rock that I had place inside to weight it down. She started laughing out loud and strong knowing she had been duked, so happy was she. I told her to give me the rock so I could get rid of it, she said "No" that it was a part of her present. She finally opened the small box and you should have seen the amazement in her face, it was a dimond ring. She place the rock on her shelf and to this day I still have Mom's rock on display.Such cherrished memories. LoveYou Mom.
