To the Major and Banks Families: In Corin. it states that absent from the body is present with God. I am deeply sadden about your loss. Tamara has truly earned her wings in Heaven because of her loving and caring heart. I will always have memories of her. One week ago today my cat broke one of the pictures Tamara had given to me. I guess from that was her way of telling me good-bye. May your soul forever rest in peace and tell my son, Pretty P Mitchell that his mother saids hi and I will be coming after while. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. For the love that you shared your children will reap the benefits. May God strengthen your family through this time of sorrow.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

The Day God Called You Home
God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.

He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home

Mara, you were the first person I ever called sister, you were the little sister I never had. I've known you since you were 15 years old and now thee is such a void right now without you here. I know that you are not in pain anymore, and that smile is just as beautiful as it always was! You are at peace and probably redecorating something now. I will cherish our memories until the day we meet again, I Love you little sister.
