Shawn and Family,
I am sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My mom (Vickie Bailey) told me about it. It has been many years since seeing you and your family, but I do have many fond memories of your mom. She was always such as sweet and kind lady. May your memories bring you comfort in the weeks and months to come. I will hold you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Angie Bailey Alphonse Baton Rouge, La

She was my Grandmother. I am a proud Grandson, It is humble to know a little of her is in me. I am saddened that I did not get to tell her that I did love her. So now every night when I prey I well tell her I do love her.

My heart goes out to the family.
This woman was such a big part of everyone's life. I pray for the family .
Gone but Not Forgotten
by Kelsey Y. Sheppard
You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of me died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And I know everyday for the rest of my life,
I'll be missing you.

Sonya and family...I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very special lady as you well know. Your mom fought a great battle and she has her reward now. I will miss seeing her lovely smile and the goodness that surrounded her. You are in my thoughts and prayers always.
