In Memoriam IN MEMORY OF Sarah Jane Coleman Lee Happy Birthday Mom Who can find a virtuous woman? Dad found one in you and you both begot six sons. It's only been weeks since you went home but we miss you greatly. To all who gave so much to the family during our darkest hour thanks much.

May God continue to bless you. Peace always, The Lee Family Joe, Eric, Dwayne, Tim, Terry Dr. Lincoln C. Lee IN MEMORY OF Mrs Ernie N. Smith 'Mama Leedy' Happy Birthday Precious 'Mothers are God's Gift to Children' God Beckoned her with outstretched hand and whispered softly of an 'unknown land'.

But she was not afraid to go, for through the path she did not know. She took His hand without a fear, for He who safely brought her here, had told her He would lead the way, into Eternity's bright day. And so she not go alone into the valley dice that's unknown. She gently took His hand and journeyed to the promised land. And there with step so light and gay, polishes the sun by day, and lights the stars that shine at night, and keeps the moonbeams silvery bright.

For Mothers never really die, they just keep house up in the sky. And in the heavenly home above, they wait to welcome those they love.
