What a kind and wonderful person. You made such an impact on my childhood. Thanks for the memories and all those PB&Js.

Sarah Evelyn Sherard Harper- she was my grandmother, my "mama"; a one of a kind one that can never be replaced and a unique piece of pottery hand crafted by God.  I know to everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Every activity, every moment, every breath we take has its proper time ordained by God.  Mama had an appointment with God on August 29 at 4:09 a.m. and she did not miss it. She traded her earthly body for a happy & healthy heavenly body. She had a long season, which lasted 91 years. It was the dash between 1921 and 2012 which counted. Her life had meaning and a purpose. She loved us and was such a giving person.  We are left standing here because of her. We all played a part in her story and she is a special character that becomes part of ours that will be forever written in time and forever etched in our hearts.    As her survivors, we are all her remnants with different colors and stories. But when we put these remnants together we are a completed tapestry of her.  And because of this tapestry, I can say as in Philippians 1:3 - "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, mama. You are now the guardian angel that rides along with each of us, you are with us in spirit.
She has crossed over to the other side of the Jordan River to her land of promise.  When the Children of Israel crossed the Jordan; they built a memorial to show where God has brought them from. If I were to build a memorial for the part she played in my life and my son Jordans life, it would reach to Heaven.
To quote back to her, the end of every letter or card that she signed , "I love you, always have and always will"  ..... Love Always Becky

Wonderful memories of living next door to you while growing up will forever live in my heart, Ms Evelyn!! You will forever be loved and missed!!

We will miss you and love you always Mama.
