Elbert, Glo, Sharron, Lim, grandkids, great grandkids, and family I'm praying for you. Although I'm heart broken for the loss of your dear wife/mother/auntie/grandmother/sister-in-law, Tiny, I rejoice in knowing that God gave you precious moments and lasting memories with her before he called His daughter Tiny home. Take peace in knowing that Tiny is now in a place where there are no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow, for she is in her heavenly home with the Lord. May the love of God strengthen you in the days to come, and may the peace of God comfort you when your heart is heavy. Love you all, Leo

Elbert and family, we offer our condolences, prayers and heartfelt sympathies to your family. Tiny was a compassionate, dedicated, friendly and loving caregiver for our mother and grandmother. She took very good care of her. She took pride in her work. Our family and Tiny bonded and developed a close and lasting loving relationship. She became, not only a caregiver, but an intricate part of our family. We will definitely miss her calm, gentle and kind demeanor. Family, Psalm 147:3 reads, "He heals the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds." Family trust that God will heal your broken hearts. Thank you for sharing Tiny with us.

Prayers of comfort and support for the family. Tiny was such a sweet and loving person to me. She will truly be missed.

Matthew 25:21 KJV - His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many.

To the Mattocks and Gibbs Families especially, Mr. James Gibbs, Jr.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of your dear loved one, Tiny. I met Tiny, in the year of 1983 or close around that year. Her brother James introduced me. We immediately hit it off. She embraced me with a big smile and a heart felt hug. Each time I saw her, she was the same. Gods children are just like that, they don't change.

James, and the other members of the family, you have a lost a precious jewel. I am so sorry for your loss however I know that God makes no mistake in His choosing for He only takes the best.

James, I don't know how it feels to loose a sister but I know the hurt and pain of loosing someone that you love. I believe Tiny is resting in the arms of Jesus. She could not wait another day. She heard her name and answered the call. A song that comes to my mind is:

" Oh I want to see Him, look upon His face. There too sing forever on His saving grace. On the streets of glory, let me lift my voice, cares are past, home at last, ever too rejoice."

Sleep on Tiny, take your rest, you've been working, and toiling for a long time. Well done thou good and faithful servant .

Humbly Angela Smith Kent Raleigh, NC

Praying that God's strength and comfort reaches you during this difficult time. Steven White, Jr. & Family
