Gods Garden
God looked around His garden
And He found an empty place.
And then He looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you,
And lifted you to rest.
Gods garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered “Peace be thine.”
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didnt go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

A Grief Blessing
May the sun bring you new energy every day,
bringing light into the darkness of your soul.
May the moon softly restore you by night,
bathing you in the glow of restful sleep and peaceful dreams.
May the rain wash away your worries,
and cleanse the hurt that sits in your heart.
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
and may you believe in the courage of yourself.
May you walk gently through the world,
keeping your loved one with you always.
Knowing that you are never parted in the beating of your heart.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Marvin and family, I was so sorry to hear about Angela I did miss her coming up in 4th floor at Venture Towers to speak to me or I going down to her office just to speak. She was a wonderful soul that will be missed
What a beautiful, kind, powerful and loving woman she was! I was blessed to know her, if even for this tough journey. Our love to you, Pam
So sorry for your loss. Praying for all you for peace and comfort.
A BEAUTIFUL SOUL IS NEVER FORGOTTEN, IT GIVES ME GREAT JOY TO HAVE KNOWN THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
My heart are saddened by your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you. I would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family.
Even though I knew Angela only briefly, I counted her among my friends. Her smile and laughter will forever be a part of her remembrance for me. May God’s love guide you homeward.
May God’s peace and the comfort of His presence be with you all. Lamar & PJ
Jay, your mom was very special. I will always remember how much she loved you all. She didn’t have to say or do anything, it just radiated from her like rays from the sun. She will be missed very much. We love you guys!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Angela will be missed, but not forgotten. Deepest sympathy to Marvin and family. Don and Gayle Sisler
My dearest cousin, you will be greatly missed. You brought a ray of light to those that know you or have known you. You are now at peace, without pain and in the loving embrace of our Lord. I ask my Lord to watch over those you have left behind and to bring peace them. It is not good-bye but until we meet again. Marvin and Jarrod, you are both in our prayers as well as the rest of your family. We may be far but we are here. Paula and Aunt Jane
