Condolence From: Valerie Kennedy Miller
Condolence: "To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our beloved first cousin, niece, friend, aunt and overall phenomenal woman Cynthia Wilson lived a marvelous,successful life on every front. We will forever miss her light, love and wisdom, but thank God for the blessing of her being in our family circle. She belongs to the angels now...

Condolence: "Poem for Flora"
Nikki Giovanni
when she was little
and colored and ugly with short
straightened hair
and a very pretty smile
she went to Sunday school to hear
'bout nebuchadnezzar the king
of the jews
and she would listen
shadrach, meshach and abednego in the fire
and she would learn
how god was neither north
nor south east or west
with no color but all
she remembered was that
Sheba was Black and comely
and she would think
i want to be
like that.
My favorite teacher of ALL time. You challenged me and taught me how to be great even when I didn’t want to be. You fought me tooth and nail and you won!! You always won. I’m so glad that you knew Jesus and the power of his resurrection so we know this is just a shadow. You knew what you meant to me through messages and visits and even now I think...”and I want to be like that...” sleep in peace my DIVA

Condolence From: Veronica Black
Condolence: Remembering a wonderful, yet loving woman. You called me your daughter and my son your grandson. We always talked all throughout the years and you always told me how proud you were of me and how much you loved us. We will miss you so much! I am heartbroken because of your unexpected death and sad that I will not be able to attend your funeral service. It will be so different and difficult this year because I will not be able to tell you Happy Birthday. Sleep on Mom, take your rest. We love you so much but our God loves you best!!! Love, Veronica & Immanuel.
