Vonceil,

So many memories, I am glad that God put your mother in my life, always a smile when I saw her. Always a strong foundation of memories that I can reflect on. She gave my grandmother alot of love which I really appreciate.
She was a soldier to the end. Now you rest Ms Elsie, with the sweet peace you deserve. God bless you Vonceil and your family and if there is anything I can do for you let me know.

Vonceil,
I remember all of us growing up in "Our Lady of Mercy Church", and Mrs Elsie, telling me, "if you do that, I am going to tell Katie". She watched out for all of us kids back then. I also remember her calling Katie, and the two of them, talking on the phone for hours. Well, both of them don't need any phones now, they can talk all day and all night until they get tired. God had called his daughter home. She will be missed. May God bless you and your entire family. I will keep you guys in my prayers.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I am so sorry for your loss. Tamara Major

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
