Aunt Henrietta I am so sorry that I could not be there but you know the unfailing love that I have for you and there is no question of the love that you had for me. I feel so lucky to have had a aunt like you who loved me no matter what the situation and put no bounderies on your love. I love you dearly and the lord knows I will miss you but I know that you are in a better place now. Sleep on in peace.

To all my family: Jenkins...
To God be the all the Glory.
God, I just thank you for the oppurtunity to know, love, and be loved by such a remarkable person.
No word can express how my heart aches now. But to know that you are with your Creator bring a peace to my heart. Aaron did not know you well, but when I told him all the stories of your unfailing love for me, he said this: No one should worry about dying because we all must die. You should worry about how you live your life on this earth, because that is one of the key things that will determine were you spend eternity. So family we all know were she is resting now. Trust in the Lord with all your might and lean not to your own understanding, but in all your way acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.. I love you Auntie, I will always carry you with me..

Catherine Walker/ Saunders/Jenkins family. Heartfelt condolences are extended to you all.
Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Your grief is shared by God and those who love you. God's promise in Isaiah 66:18 says "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and shall comforted in Jerusalem". Although your sister no longer lives in a physical shell, life goes on beyond what exist on earth. Death is a doorway to God's home in heaven, and He has welcomed your love one to experience the joy, peace and everlasting life. The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:1 "For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were disolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, external in the heavens". Simply stated "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". In the midst of your pain and suffering, I pray that God will draw closer to you. The Pslamist in Chapter 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted". He is close enough to strengthen your heart and guide you during the darkest hours that lie ahead. Know that the presence of God can bring new life. Go to Him for shelter. You can always count on Him to be there when all else fails. His arms are long and strong. Your heart's cry will reach God's ear. Prepare for the process of shock, denial, grief, anger and the depression that you are sure to experience. God Himself experienced intense grief over the loss of His precious friend. Isaiah 53:3 says He wept at the tomb of Lazarus. God is a place of shelter far from the tempest and storm. He is the habor where you can drop the anchor. Be encouraged. God shall strnegthen and comfort your hearts. May the peace of Our Heavenly Father surround your life. May God bless you all.

LaDera, the Saunders and Jenkins family, words cannot explain how deeply the lost of Henrietta is to me. She was my encourager when things weren't going well. She was certainly a woman of God who strived to live the life of a true Christian. Know that she will be missed and as long as we keep her in our hearts our tears of sorrow will become tears of joy knowing that she is in heaven with our Lord.

Only The Best

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.
