Grandma it's been a few months with you gone now . Im just now finally writing something. It took me a while to say something because it hurt me so much finding out that you were gone πŸ’”. I just didn't know what to say. I was lost for words. I miss you every single day . You were a great grandmother and mother . Im kinda sad I didn't get to say my goodbyes . But I also enjoyed the time I spent with you . I enjoyed talking with you. I enjoyed seeing you . I love you grandma forever and ever ❀️!!

I Graduated middle school today grandma, it was hard for these past few months, and I thought I wasn't gonna make it, and honestly almost gave up. But I didn't give up, and I kept going all for you, I can hear you now congratulating me and hyping me up. Which I know you would be happy for me like always. I just wanted to tell you that, and I'm still missing you on the inside. But at least I passed and I'm onto Highschool the next and biggest chapter of my life!!! Love and miss you grandma Sarah πŸ’œπŸ‘©πŸΎβ€πŸŽ“. -AshπŸ¦‹

Grandma, I'm still a loss of words for you , and i'm still not sure how to express my emotions and how I feel. I'm still deeply hurt on the inside about your passing, and all the pain I had gone through, although, it took me a good minute to process everything. But I know your in a much better place now, and your up there happy and having a good time! I'm gonna keep my head up for you, and continue to do what's right like you would want me to. Thank you for all the love, and good times we had every weekend when I would come over to see you. Thanks for all the things you did for me, and I miss you so so much, and you will always be in my heart FOREVER❀️. Rest easy knowing you ment a lot to me. I love you grandmother, and I'm looking forward to seeing you on the other side in another life time🌸! - Ash

Mrs. Norwood was a light in the community. She is already sorely missed by family and friends. Our heartfelt condolences to the family at this difficult time. May God's love, the peace of Christ and the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Mr. Curtis and Rev. Dr. Diane F. Spruill

As you know, I too just lost my mother Annie Myrle, so it is still difficult to write. But I want to because your family has always been good neighbors and friends to our family. I am thankful I have heard good memories of Mrs. Sarah. My mother: Annie Myrle used to talk of coming over and playing house, and Mrs. Sarah added that she could still hear my mother as a little girl saying,"You all make the sandwiches, and we will bring the Kool-aid. Mrs. Sarah said it was because the Fosters had the spring. What I will always remember are the musacadines and the conversations that came during the visits. I am so glad your mother was there one night my mother really needed help in her teenaged years also. May you have the pleasure of your memories being so vivid that you are able to feel and hear her when you need Mrs. Sarah the most. "For God so loved the world 🌎 that He gave His only begotten Son:[Jesus] that whosoever believes in Him [Jesus] should not perish, but have everlasting life," (John 3:16). Be blessed by this hope. It is the best gift and comfort I am able to offer at this time.

You have my most deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one.πŸ•ŠοΈ

My sweet sweet grandmother oh how I miss you so much, words can't describe how much I truly feel, the hurt I had to endure oh I just wish you was still here with me while you almost made it to another Christmas and another year I just wish it didn't have to be one his way not on the holidays..... but I guess God and his angels couldn't wait anymore so they just decided to call you home to be with him and the rest of the family. I miss you so much and hopefully one day I'll be able to see you again once I transition over as well, until then I will continue living life to the fullest and also continue on following my career path that God has set and planned for me so until then it's not nor never be goodbye, It's I will later in the next lifetime.πŸ’œ-Tee
