As much as I want you Back I know that your not in pain anymore and that's all I ever wanted for you. I never got to say goodbye to you because I know that this one means forever . I'm not ready to let you go but I Know I have to. You make the sky so pretty . I wish you could have phone calls in heaven cause I have so many questions !! Is it really as peaceful as they say?? How are you doing ?? I Promise I'm going to keep going for you I'm going to finish school and go to collage and make you and nannie proud . I just keep asking myself why couldn't you stay a little while longer for us.

Goodbye Papa and I love you so much save me a spot up there . - Zamani

I just heard about Harvey Lee's passing, I am so sorry to hear of this. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. What keeps me going each day since the loss of mama is a scripture in Revelation 21:3,4 where it assures us that soon sickness and death will be done away with. We will be able to live forever in true peace without worry of these things. Sure hope you all can find some consolation from this scripture as well.

Praying that you will feel the nearness of the Father during this transition. (Malcolm Chandler, Sharon Wilson and Kim Jackson - Chandler children)
