Add A Condolence

To my Cousins, Mariah children and grandchildren. My heart felt sympathy and condolences πŸ™ to you all. Mariah and I talked often over the last four years. Things she didn't remember after her accident, I told her about...living in Washington dc; being in my wedding, her good fried chicken she would cook for us. She would call and ask me to tell her more. We laughed and laughed and cried. I miss her 😒 . Much love to you all.

My dear sister Mariah, Oh, how much I love you! It sorrows my heart to see you go, but as the Apostle Paul said: "I am confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." (2 Corinthians 5:8). You lived life with enthusiasm and happiness, and those who knew you felt your aura. Most importantly, you were a believer in Christ. You prayed, you worshiped, and you danced before the presence of the LORD. Oh, how I wished I could keep you here to spend more time on the phone for hours and hours reminiscing about our childhood, healing our heartfelt wounds, and laughing with an intense long pause. Growing up in the same household was fun and special. Being with you in your final hours of life and comforting you has impacted my life forever. I got the chance to show you how much I've always loved you, and the reason why we never had an argument or spoken an ill word to each other. I will always be here for your children and grandchildren, to pray and encourage them through this journey of life. I will also comfort our mother (Sylvia), because she misses you so much, and my children miss you too. I'm going to take this time to remember you in my own sacred way with the LORD, and give you the dignity and respect you deserve. I love you.

Ecclesiastes 4:2 "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive."

Ecclesiasticus 38:16 "My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial."
