I give my heart felt condolences to you Denise and the rest of your family. It's very hard to accept our loved ones passing especially if they were sick, of had a hard transition. The beauty of it is "Absent from the body is present with the Lord". Life is eternal if you believe in God. We transition from physical body to Spirit body until the day of resurrection and that's when the body, soul, and spirit is united. The real person is our spirit which is inside the flush. May your Mom enjoy all of the promise that she heard about all of her life. Now, she's really living it. By now, she's met with God, Jesus, Abraham, and the 12. And all of her family, and friends who's proceeded her in eternity. The Bible says the dead knows not what the living is doing and the living know not what the dead is doing. He said that for a reason, because the dead in the flesh has life and that much more abundantly. May God heal your heart, and give you peace that surpasses all understanding. I love you Denise. From your elementary school friend: Cheryl Humphrey

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Roberta. I remember growing up with all of you and when you lived on Polk St. May she rest in the arms of Jesus.
