Shirley Pruitt Obituary

OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY
THE GANTT FAMILY

Shirley dear friend I will love and miss you. May God wrap his loving arms around you and keep you in his arms. To the children and family the lost of a "Mother" is great may God's grace bring you through Kassie and Zuri White.

she is RESTING in the arms of JESUS...

God often takes His Children home to care for them.When we realize they are gone,we hurt,suffer,cry and sometimes we even get sick.We keep praying and our day too, will come for eternal life.

It was with great sadness that we learned of Ms. Shirley's passing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and we hope that in a small way they help through these trying times - We pray that the memories of her and knowing that she is resting in the arms of The Lord provide you with some comfort.

May GOD wrap his arms around this Family during this time of Sorrow.

My prayers are with you all during this time. RIP Mrs Pruitt

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.
