Aunt Minnie, Claudette, & my entire Powell Family:

Weeping endureth but for a moment; but JOY cometh in the morning.

Our hearts are heavily burden. Our tears has stopped flowing. Trying to understand why is something that we will never know. Sabie was a kind-hearted, hard working brother who would do ANYTHING to assist his family, friends and loved ones. He loved church, his work but mainly his family & children. I know this is hard for us but extremely hard for you all. Hold on to the memories of Sabie, keep him close in heart because he is now resring in God's arms smiling down looking at us.
He has lived a good life and the work he has done is speaking for him today as we all speak of his goodness.
Embrace one another, continue to LOVE one another and rememeber that God has a Blessing with SABIE'S name on it and he has gone to heaven to claim it!

My prayers are with you all today as always. Pray that God will give you the strength to grow stronger in his love as he heals you through this rough time.

To Minnie and the rest of the Powell family , we wish to extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of Sabie. Please know that in time this will all make sense. Please accept this poem as words of encouragement:No one can know just what you've lost;
No one can understand the cost;
But when you feel your energy drain,
Please count on us to help ease your pain.
Let us help you cope with grief;
We hope with time you'll feel relief.
We can't replace the one who's gone,
But let our concern help you carry on.

Music, when soft voices die

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
