I'll See Yall Later
I said a special prayer for you all. I asked the Lord above to keep you all in His care and to enfold you all in His love ... I asked the Lord to bless you all in
times of sadness and stress and to fill your hearts with peace and happiness. I can't leave in peace, knowing that you are feeling sad. So help me to go on, by loving one another and not get mad. God called for me, and said, "Mae, come up to dwell with me. "I'm following the path God has laid for me, so wipe your tears away...I'm free ... I'm free ...I know you may need to cry, it does ease the pain. Remember there would be no flowers without the rain. I had to leave my collard greens, cornbread, neck bones, cabbages and yams; no more ice tea and more "snuff! My God told me, "Don't worry because in My house you have more than enough." God has granted me access to HEAVEN'S KITCHEN, so I will be fine up here. Sitting on my heavenly porch, watching the Glory of God
shine so clear. Since I'm not good with good-byes I'll just say, "I'll see Yall Later." So, whenever you're feeling lonely, and missing me, just look toward
HEAVEN, and see me riding on God's elevator.

Mrs. Arthur Mae McClure was called home to continue her journey and leaves behind, her two sons, Myron Carthan and Walter McClure; grandchildren, Lorenzo McClure, Walter McClure, Jr. (mother, Sharon Strickland), Mr. and Mrs. Melody Wyatt, .Marian Carthan, Yolanda Carthan, Erica Mattox, Trina Joyner and Kimberly Jackson; first great grandchild, Chanquesa Joyner, nineteen other great grandchildren; nephew, Tim Carthan; special friends, Renee Jones and Carlo Morris; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
I'd like the memon; of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve To dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave When life is done.
