~.r~~ ~()(Jm (Love!J Louisa"
On this day, we honor a child of God, A woman who carried quiet grace. The Lady of our lives, Lovely Louisa...the great lioness that she was
has risen as an angel for the Most High. She followed Jesus, but was at the head of our family. No child or grandchild will ever be as loved as hers were. No husband will ever be as blessed as hers was. Her humor, her taste, her style was like no other.
We are forever thankful to God for giving us our MOTHER.
With Love) Your Fami!J
~ Virtuous Woman"
A woman who developed a relationship with God. A companion and helpmate for her husband, she came to be; a part of his rib you see. These are the things God created her to be.
Being a Virtuous Woman in God, she trusted in His wisdom and learned to understand His anointing for her destiny. Placed in her life, she received her blessing and this strengthened her
as a mother and wife. To Glorify the King, she became a queen possessing the power of God in her heart. Through God's spirit this gave her smarts.
She fought against poverty, abuse, and all misuse, this gave her honor and praise throughout her days. The things of this world did not hold her down. She would always stand both feet on the ground. She knew for sure our God reassured; do not be afraid, this is also the way she became saved. Well educated with knowledge because she knew the words of our Heavenly Father. So He would not reject her because she had not forgotten the law of God, our Lord whose words are like a sword and cuts deep on which she did not sleep.
Louisa, knowing all things are possible through Christ which strengthens her, for her she learned whatever state she was in, she would win and be content this is what God truly meant and she was
thankful for the blessings in which He sent.
Now being a virtuous woman of God, many women do noble things, but you surpass them all, Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised; her precious name should be held high and raised.

Our mother was ready for this day no matter if it came on that day, or years from now. Let us all celebrate her journey and pray that we can join her one day.
We thank you for your love and support through this transitional period. ~The Henry Family

~~ CJtl~ ~was born on Saturday, August 7, 1948 to the late Minter and Louise
Wimberly at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. She was what you would refer to as your average girl growing up in the mid-20th century. She was outgoing, caring funny and knew how to read people. She accepted Christ into her life at an early age and always insisted that God wouldn't put anymore on you than you could bear. As a teenager, she worked at the historic Varsity in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated with honors from David T. Howard High School in 1967.
During that time, she and her high school sweetheart, the late Willie James Rowell briefly married and through their union, LaTanya was born. After their relationship ended, Louisa worked a few clerical jobs, most notable the IRS, before finding out about a position at Western Electric. She was hired in 1970 and worked there until she retired in 1994. In that time, Louisa (LuLu) rose as one of the top data entry operators in the southern region. In 1975, she met Norris Henry and they married on Valentine's Day, 1980, their union produced NorViance.
Throughout all her triumphs and hardships, Louisa knew that Christ was on the throne, and instilled these beliefs into her children. As a grandmother, she was supportive as any mother would be. To her greatgrandsons she was simply "G. G." She loved music ranging from Motown to contemporary R&B and Gospel. She loved celebrity gossip, action/ sci-fi/horror movies and shows, westerns, and Top Model, just to name a few. She kept her spirit and soul centered to Christ, and that quiet strength will push on as she begins her next journey.
On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, Louisa left her vessel to continue this great story on the other side.
To carry on her legacy, she leaves behind: her husband, Norris; daughter, LaTanya R. Porter and son, NorViance Henry; son-in-law, D exter A. Porter; grandchildren, Parris and Jessica Porter; five great-grandsons, D exter, Drew, Trevolis, Tyler and Vincent; surviving siblings, Mrs. Frances Thomas, Mr. Clarence Wimberly, Mrs. Jesse Lumpkin, Ms. Justine Wimberly and Mr. D anny Wimberly; generations of nieces and nephews, ranging from teenage years to their sixties, as well as several great-nephews and nieces; family friends, Mr. and Mrs. Corley (Enid) Manning and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis (Willene) Williams; sisters-in-law, Mrs. Rheba Wimberly, Ms. Teresa A.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death)
I willfear no evil.for thou art with me; Tf?y rod and tf?y stciff they comfort me.
Thou prepares! a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.
