A Mother's Song
The river of time, it flows and churns, A song of sorrow, my heart it burns. My mother's gone, a star gone low, But her love's a fire, that still will glow. Her hands, they worked, a rhythm true, A tapestry of life, for me and you. She sang the blues, a soulful plea, And taught me strength, to stand and be. Now spirit whispers, on the breeze, A memory blooms, among the trees. Her laughter echoes, soft and low, A love that lingers, here below. Though grief may linger, deep within,Her spirit lives, till life's been spun. A mother's love, a sacred art, Forever etched, within my heart. I'll carry on, her strength inside, A song of hope, where tears subside. For in this pain, a truth I see, Her love's eternal, always free.

Cousin Sadie Ruth and I grew up in the St. Mark area of Hemingway, South Carolina. We had a lot of laughs together. I have hope to meet my cousin back here in the New Earth in the RESURRECTION! John 5:29; Luke23;43 paradise. Family be comforted by these biblical words. Love to all cousin Lorine &family
My deepest condolences to the family.
Aunt Sadie Ruth's smile radiated warmth, goodness,and kindness every single time we saw her. Her presence brought a profound sense of peace that enveloped us all. We are truly grateful and blessed for the precious - cherished years we had with her. Thinking of her reminds me of an old hymn of the church, Give Me a Heart Like Thine. "Give me a heart that knows no ill. Give me the grace to do thy will. Pardon and cleanse this home of mine. Lord, give me a heart like thine. Come to my soul blessed Jesus. Hear me Oh Saviour Divine. Open the fountain and cleanse me within. Lord, give me a heart like thine.
Only a joy a few brief years. Only a dream of a well of tears. Vain is this world, Lord, I now resign. Lord, give me a heart like thine. Come to my soul blessed Jesus. Hear me Oh Saviour Divine. Open the fountain and cleanse me within. Lord, give me a heart like thine."
Rest well, Auntie.
I am so saddened to hear of dear Ms. Sadie's passing but glad to know her great son Sir. Liston and see a reflection of greatness, empathy, outstanding mediation skills, leadership and an outstanding father/ husband that could not be possible but for the wonderful love and teaching of a grand mother. May Jehovah bless and keep the family my prayers are with you all!
You are greatly missed by your sister-in-law Louise G. Washington. May you rest in peace. With all my love.
