Veronica (Jordan) Williams Grammy and I on my wedding day. I met Grammy through Rudine and from the first time we met she welcomed me in like I was one of her grandchildren. Whenever I would call or see her she would say hey Jordan lol. My name is actually Veronica but I was her special Jordan. She made one of the best potato salads I have ever tasted. Whenever she would make it, she made sure to put some to the side for me and write Jordan on the top. I will truly miss her.

Hebrews 13:2 encourages us to never forget to show hospitality to strangers. By doing this, some have shown hospitality to angels without even knowing it. Angels indeed are all around us. When we encounter an angel, it is a moment that is to be cherished, knowing angels dwell among us for just a moment and then are called home. Gram, when I met ...

Jozella (Cookie) Reed I am amazed that I found this picture of Aunt Rainy and Uncle Farrell a few days ago. Lorraine and Farrell Beazer, RIH, the memories of you give me do much joy. I know you are in His loving arms, and will truly miss you. I called her about a month ago to find out she and Gary were doing in the midst of this pandemic. She answered real loud: WHA-DA-YA-WANT!!!?? I responded, ”It’s Cookie.” ”I KNOW WHO THIS IS!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She always had me laughing, and what a great cook she was! Oh, I will miss her. Note: “Cookie”is the nickname that my late Aunt Lillian gave me because “there is too many JOE’S around here! From now on your name is Cookie!” My mother and I were both named, Jozella, hence - two Jozie’s, and then there was my Uncle Joseph - we were all named after my grandfather, Joseph. Hence, there was great confusion at family gatherings - between the loud Calypso music, and everybody yelling for somebody called ”Joe.” Aahh and we treasure the precious memories...

Sherry Poku What a beautiful life of Ms. Lorraine! She did so many great things for others while living life at the fullest. Out of her beautiful story are her children, their children, and children to come. I am so thankful that I was able to view her memorial online allowing me to have the opportunity to learn more about her life through her family and friends. God bless you all. He will give you peace through the storm and turn tears into joyful memories. The Lord our God almighty has received his beautiful daughter . She has claimed her reward in heaven. Glory be to God in the highest. She is looking down and smiling on her family and loved ones coming together to celebrate her life. It's not a day of good byes! It's only for a moment for we will all meet again!

I will continue to keep you all lifted in my prayers. Gram was a spunky, sassy, and fierce woman. She will be missed but I know live on in each of you. Hold your memories close to your heart. She will be watching over you. Love each of you and I'm here, Rudi.

I met Mrs. Beazer briefly on her visit with her daughter Verness. Mrs. Beazer character shown much dignity, love, and strength even when she watched her family in silence. Your children and your grandchildren are your mirroring image of your beauty, talents, and strength. Treating those who cross their path with love like they were born into the fa...

Jayashri Srinivasan Cuffey I miss my Auntie beyond measure. I have always thought of her as my second mother. She is my mother Lillian's sister. I spoke to her sometime in March/April and asked her if she needed anything. Her response was "No. I know if I call you, you will be right here." Then she laughed. I'm thankful she knew she could rely on me and how much I loved her . At Auntie & Uncle Farrell's anniversary party , I told her that she is the reason my nieces call me "Auntie". When Lakshmi was born, I told my sister Shantha, that I wanted her to call me "Auntie", just Auntie. It was because I knew how important my Auntie is to me. My life has be blessed because she was in it. As I always say, "Remember the Love" and our loved ones will remain in our hearts. I pray we find peace in those memories.
