The loss of a loved one can be emotionally challenging to endure. Know that God cares for you and he can heal your broken heart. (Psalm 147:3; 1 Peter 5:7) In time, the memories of Reeshemah that may cause pain now will be pleasant. Until then, continue to comfort one another.

My Prayers goes out the Alston Family. Mr.and Mrs Jimmie Higgs

My goes out to the Alston family

I will always remember Reeshemah walking down the aisle at St. Stephen Missionary Baptist Church wearing her fabulous hats and her stylish outfit. Thoughts and prayers are with our extended family during this time of bereavement. ~ Helena Williams and Mary J. Perry Harris

To the family: I once read that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May the wonderful treasure of Reeshemah fill your hearts with love and bring you peace. And may our heavenly father comfort you by means of friends and family, and his word (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I will always remember her being at St Stephen Baptist Church as a chil with her Grandma & Grandpa . We would always sit on the right side of the church in the same spot every 2nd and 4th Sundays. Robin Alston

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
