A Message To My Family

When i was about 8 years old,   It was Christmas day. 
We would arrive early to our grandparent's house 
My cousins would arrive  a bit later and  they would tell of having just spent time with their other set of grandparents.  
I remember thinking “how is this possible???”
This was the first time I realized…. 
My brother Jason and I only had one set of grandparents. 
For we lost 2 grandparents on my father’s side before we were  born.  

Nevertheless, only having one grandmother
I dare say i have had more prayers ushered into the throne of heaven on my behalf by my one grandmother than most people have had with two grandmothers.    

For she was a prayer warrior.   

I would like to remind you, 

She prayed for you. 

This was her mission in life

She submitted prayer for you every day of your life. 
 
Since the day you were born.

Now through her example, she passes the greatest inheritance  unto her family that a person could ever offer    

The legacy of praying for one another.

Let her passing be a remind and encourage us to pray without ceasing for one another  and to love one another. 

A few days before she passed.  she was in and out of sleep  She would utter sound and open her eyes up just a tiny bit and then close them again.   
I stayed for a bit.   
We prayed together.  
Then i said Grandma I gotta go and I’ll see you soon   
Those were the last words that grandmother Meriwether may have heard me say.    
I realized later on how true those words were.  For by God’s grace through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.   I will see her again soon. 
We will all see her again.  

She is now celebrating in the presence of God with those that she has lost all these many years. 

From what I understand about my family, on that day the Lord has ordained for me, I will expect to finally see all four of my grandparents for the first time. 

All praise be to God through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  

I love you all. ….

In Loving Memory a tribute poem
                                               By Cassandra (caregiver)

Amidst the quiet, gentle space, your spirit lingers near. A presence filled with warmth and grace,

Your courage shone with steady light throughout each precious day. Even as the world turned night, you found your hopeful way.

In shared smiles and whispered dreams, you touched so many hearts. Your memory flows like gentle streams, a love that never parts.

Your journey’s now in tranquil rest, beyond the sky’s embrace. A cherished soul, forever blessed, in light and endless grace.

In peace, may you forever soar above on wings of love. In memories, forevermore, a guiding star above.

We met Vesta in 1985 when we moved to south Florida as young newlyweds. She was a faithful prayer warrior as we had children and decades later, grandchildren. She would inquire often about how our family was doing. She exuded a sense of genuine interest and love. There was never a doubt Vesta loved us and the Lord with all her being.
