This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Uylanda Corlew who was born on July 4, 1952 and passed away on March 10, 2011. We will remember her forever. My mom was known to many as "Ms. Uylanda". She was a very loving and compassionate person who loved her family, neighbors, church family and friends. She did what she could to be a blessing to others, whether it was giving food, clothes or just showing love she was glad to do it and made this her life's mission to be a blessing to others. She was our rock and the glue that held our family. Even thru her illness she still continued to bless others with her phone calls, cards, kind words and deeds. She was truly a blessing to every one who she came in contact with, she was the definition of luv thou neighbor because that is what she did. I have had several people who have just viewed this memorial page to send me messages and that speaks volumes of the luv people had for my mom whether they knew her personally or not. She was a fabulous mom who instilled in us the meaning of love, unconditional love....no matter what she loved us and did the best she could to raise us up right and with the love of CHRIST...it is only know that we are able to go on without her...it is only by the grace of GOD that we are still standing...I miss her so much but I know that she is resting in the arms of JESUS and she heard HIM say "well done my good and faithful servant, come to me and I will give you rest." I know that if i live my life for CHRIST i too will see JESUS CHRIST and i will see her again someday...Moma I luv you and will never forget all that you did for me, the strength you imparted in your children and all the luv that you showed to others. You lived your life for CHRIST and because of this you were able to preach your own Eulogy by the life you lived....i was blessed to have you in my life for 36 years and for this i am forever grateful...luv Michelle
Before I leave this earth there are things that I must do, I want to see your smile again and spend some time with you.
Before I leave this earth there are things that I must do, I have to call that place again because my bills are due. I hate to leave these things undone, you know just how I do.
Before I leave this earth there are things that I must do, I hoe you know I'll miss you all and I love each and every one of you.
Before I leave this earth there is so much I want to say, God knows best my children so he chose to take me away. He erased my fears, wiped away my tears and gave me happiness here.
So cry your tears, keep your memories and share a laugh or two but don't be sad for long my kids that's not Gods plan for you.

You will be missed Uylanda but never forgotten!
Beauty Was Her Name
by: Angela Branson
She didn't kiss my scraped knees..
She didn't teach me thank you and please..
But I still call her Mother.
Her body did not nurture my own seed,
But, still, she fulfilled a tremendous need
And loved me like no other.
God knew what He was doing in two thousand seven
When He moved me next door to my own piece of heaven.
She loved me like her own..
Sometimes she'd talk all day.. Other times she was reticent.
When I was feeling sad or sick, she'd always feed me medicine,
Even tho I was surely grown.
She prayed with me.. She prayed for me.
She stayed with me.. She stayed for me.
I did not have to receive this blessing in life,
But Fate felt I deserved a break in my strife.
She taught me to TRULY live.
Secret meetings on the back porch after dark..
Between neighborly exchanges, a friendship did spark.
My love and admiration, I freely give.
She was an angel, and of course, she still is..
Before she was mine, she was always His..
Dear Mother has returned Home.
She leaves her wisdom and spirit behind..
Taught me to seek something I truly could find.
My soul no longer to roam.
Your lessons I will continue to mind..
Your heart is truly one of a kind..
Your hair, although, I'll no longer comb,
But Mama, I'll see you when I get Home.
