Obituary Read Silently Words o f Comfort Reverend Marion Davis Recessional
The woman we all know is gone, Through the beauty and strength she has brought us,
This is a new beginning to an end New doors opened as those have closed Many blessings and love go to you above For all the wonderful things you've done,
You are truly blessed You brought life unto life You did more than enough You are God's gift to all A woman that never backs down,full o f energy,
Powerful and blessed, A strong and mighty woman you are.
For this day, September 4,2010 I'm gonna make it my business to bejust like you,
Thoughtful, caring and a giftfrom above. Let's not take this as an end,
Let it be known this is where it all begins.
