In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Sherisse,



The Lord said in the book of John, "I give you peace, the kind of peace that only I can give. It isn't like the peace that this world can give. So don't be worried or afraid."



I pray that the day will soon come when you find the peace that the Lord spoke about. The upcoming days will be a struggle and there will definitely be times when you just don't want to go on, but please know that many prayers have been released on behalf of your family and the Lord hears all prayers. In your time of grief, continue to allow the love of your family and friends to get you through. I love you, girl, and I am here for you if there is anything that you may need.



Continuing to keep the Birch and Broughton families in my prayers,



Reesheda Pringle

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.

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.

To Sherisse and the Family of Shirley Birch-



"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal"



Sherisse, my deepest prayers go to you and the family during this time.

Look to God for all healing and peace during this time and in the future. Hold on to those memories.



We are praying for you.

Chris,

I know I won't probably be able to make it to the funeral. But, just know I am there in spirit and if you need anything all you have to do is call. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

To the Birch and Broughton Family,



May the Love of God be with you in yor time of sorrow. I only got to know Ms. Shirley as she was affectionately called at Oakdale Heights by her assoicates and residents for a short period of time. But in those five (5) months Ms. Shirley was one exceptional employee who has left a lasting impression on each and everyone who she came in contact with. If Shirley could help someone who was in sorrow and pain to be content in knowing that they're life has been worthwhile. She would say " I made someone smile today and it was not in vain. I will always remember Ms. Shirley as a quite, compassionate, and a hardworker.



God Bless.

To the Broughton Family,

My family and I extend our heartfelt and deppest sympathy in this time of sorrow. Continue to look to Jesus for He is your strength. May God continue to keep you.
