Freeman Anthony Freeman Minus Freeman Pallbearers Alonzo Walters Oscar Davis Ushers Beulah Grove Baptist Church Our Mother An angel called my best friend on home to glory, And she answered as only she could; This was a call she had waited for, 'cause on earth she had done all her good. She asked the angel to see about her family, She knew we would want her stay; She said tell them I go to a better place, And you know the Lord will have his way. So as we weep and moan for her, Remember this important thing; Moma is gone on to heaven, And now with the angels she sings. And if we lived as she did, Obedient to Him and true; An angel will come to escort us home, After we have done all that we could do.
