Family,
I am saddened to hear of Queen's passing. I smile as I think of the days that her cousin/my Uncle Harold Wright would visit from NY and share special times with Queen. Oh how they loved each other! May God bless you and your family greatly in this time of sorrow.

Be Encouraged

By Hazel Louise Smalls



Don't be discouraged when you forget to pray
You may not hear it, I pray for you each day
I know the Lord is with you
Yes, He is there to see you through
Even when I can't hear your voice
I want you to know, I love you by choice
There is nothing more precious than life
The Lord will help you through your strife
I ask the Lord to touch you from head to feet
I ask Him to give you blessed relief
Trust Him for He is always there
Of your needs He is always aware
Know I love you and God does too
He will remove the old and repair the new
I want you to keep the faith
Tell God about it, for with you He relates
I always pray for you to have a better day
I want you to let God have His way

Heaven's Gain
By Hazel Louise Smalls

I woke up this morning and said a prayer for you
I really wish that there was more I could do
I ask the Lord to Bless your thoughts
Remember the sweet memories she brought
Know she has no sickness or pain
Think of her as heaven's gain
Remember her in all you do
Believe that she is with you, your life through
I know you hope to see her one day
Right now you must watch and pray
Trust God with all your heart
Know in your heart she holds a permanent part.
