Your mother was a sweet woman of God. She always dressed like she was on her way to a COGIC Convention ( lol). You were a loving and faithful son.

Death is not a period that ends the great sentence of life, but a comma that punctuates it to more lofty significance. Death is not a blind alley that leads the human race into a state of nothingness, but an open door which leads man into life eternal. Reginald and family remember those many memories that you shared with her. Ms. Gaston was smart and alert, coupled with that quicken of the tongue. In fact, I remember her saying "Robert, I haven't seen you in church in awhile." Sending prayers of comfort from Dr. Tarsha & Robert Elliott
