To the Yeadon and Young Family,

I am so saddened to hear of the loss of my childhood friend, neighbor and classmate. I have so many fond memories of Williscean and the Yeadon family. I grew up with Williscean from the early days of the projects on America Street. We attended elementary and high schools together. When I think of Williscean, I see Delores, Annette, Claire and myself hanging around together having fun as children and young ladies often do. Many years ago around March, Ms. Lily as we affectionately called her mother, would be planning Williscean's birthday party. At one of those parties, I remember going under the broomstick (it was our limbo stick) in a dance contest and trying hard to win that coveted prize of a bottle of Pepsi :-)!! Throughout the years I’ve often thought of my friend. I hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing her since we graduated from high school in 1971 but she was often in my thoughts. And I constantly asked about her at gatherings with our childhood neighbors and classmates. My heart is heavy and I find it difficult to describe how I feel about the loss of my friend. I remember her as a very witty and fun person to be with. She will be so sadly missed by her family and friends. But we all know that God makes no mistakes and has a better role for her in His heavenly kingdom. Sleep in peace, my friend.

The Yeadon Family has my deepest sympathy.May God bless and comfort you as you go through this time.Know that I will be praying for you.

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.
