Good Morning Mama Mimi & Merry Christmas to you! First, let me thank you for waking me the other night when in the tub. I saw your beautiful face and that infectious smile but Mama....I didn't like that water too well in my nose 😆!! Well Mama......my husband, your son, is still gone but should be home in the next week or so for sure. We didn't celebrate this year except just celebrating each other! With Covid 19 happening this year, finances have just been tight. Yet, we do thank those few who thought about us enough to send a warm and friendly card! I remember Christmas of 2000 when I was pregnant with Seton and you got us that giant baby bottle and statue of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger. I keep it put up because I don't want  it broken and it's special to me. But most of all, I remember the cell phone for Sharmarie and the excitement she had. I'm still smiling and what a good memory!......I was thinking about you and just wanted to tell you that we love and miss you dearly! Forever in our hearts, you will always be.....

Ronda & Charlie L. Shead, Jr. & All the boys

Good Day my Sweet Mother-In-Law.......ahhhhhh, Happy Birthday Sweet Angel. I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but not a moment goes by without you here in my heart. In these trying times, I need you so much. Today has been an exceptionally hard day as I'm missing your son, my husband.....so very much. Out of all our prayers, tears and jokes......the enemy did a real number on him this time but those stern, prayers we had...took him to the places we both prayed over him for. We got him, Mama.....we got him! With the almighty grace of our heavenly Father's help....mighty, mighty help! He may have had to experience hitting rock bottom but Mama, I'm still right here and keeping my promises to you.  God's got a real choke hold on him now so you don't need to worry anymore because he is following you in becoming the Christian leader you've always instilled in him to be. Today, we are united with you in Heaven as u celebrate your earthly birth. Let the ceremony begin in celebrating your continued graduation to Glory! I love you Mama aka "Mimi" and 1 day.....1 day....I'll be right there running to your open arms with my husband, your son.......in harmony and love knowing our family reunion with you has finally come......to God be the Glory!

Love you Mama......Ronda & Charlie L. Shead, Jr.

My aunt was a truly unique and very gifted person. She shared God's word at any given moment and prayed for others constantly. She will be missed  and remembered for the giving person she was. I know that she is in heaven, rest in peace Aunt Doris.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Precious, Doris. What a beautiful reflection of God's love! Your willingness to  completely depend on God for everything, encouraged those of us around you, to trust Him more. You made Him a reality! You were always aware of His Presence. Continually seeking after Him. Talking, listening and worshiping Him. Gathering up His wisdom and truth, to share generously with anyone in need. God's goodness poured out of you, Doris. Giving glimpse of God's majesty which always ended in prayer of the mightiest sort.
A little part of me, wonders what will I do without you, Doris. We were soul sisters. Like little girls, we held hands and hearts and chased after God in wide eyed amazement! We laughed and cried, and laughed again!Celebrating His kindness and goodness. I will miss our long visit's. I will miss hearing you say with great enthusiasm, "Praaaaise, GOD!!!" and so many other things you said that made me smile. Doris, you were, no, you are so alive! Living a rich and abundant life in the midst of a dark and fallen world. I am so grateful for our time together. You made a difference in me. I will treasure you in my heart and continue to praise the Father we both love so dearly. I will think of you often and look forward to the days ahead and the opportunities He will bring to share with others, like you shared with me.

Rest in His Glory, good and faithful servant.


p.s.I am thanking God, in advance, for answering every single one of your prayers. Only God knows, how  plentiful they were :)

For my mother-in-law....the Queen of all....for all that you have been in my life and for every prayer you have shared and flown my way... you will forever live in my heart. For every butterfly that enflights upon me, I shall always know it's following me along life's path. I know you and your choir are waiting for me to be there with you. I will rejoice upon re-uniting with you!! Love, your lady Butterfly......

To everyone, This is her Daughter Sharmarie,  and I just want everybody to know. That my family and I apperciate all of the prayers, condoles, and encourging words, I can say that my mother, shined so much of the lords light into peoples lives, and now that she's with the lord, I trust and belive that those little lamps that she place within the children of God will never burn out. It will grow and continue to shine light on the lords truth. We most take our place with the Lord, and help save the lost souls. Good bless you all. And please continue to keep the family and friends in your prayers

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

RIP, you will be missed!!! Praying for the family!!!

Doris was such a joy. I met her at my own yard sale. And she invited me to come to her store. I just loved to go there...She decorated it so cute...And you could tell it was all her...Doris always thought of everyone else...She told me on one of my visits with her. She wanted to pray for me...I asked "Why?" She said "Because, you always take care of everyone else before yourself." I told her I would be honored to have her pray for me...Because the way I see it...She had God on speed dial...And when, Doris called, He listened...Thanks for sharing your wonderful Doris with us....

Doris was my godmother in the ministry but not only that she was my mother and my sister and my best friend and I love her dearly and me and the girls will miss her I miss your smile and always talking about the Word of God and how she always use to shout at a drop of a dime when you just say the name Jesus and blowing her shofar horn I remember when she first got it and we were trying to blow it she said we will have to learn how to blow that horn and the Lord blesses her to blow it and surely she is blowing it right now

Doris you were one of a kind. The Lord  knew that u were tired so he called u home to rest. You will truly be missed

What a loss we have had but what a gain for the Lord.
Doris and I started out in the same shop years ago and became friends. We loved to talk and find treasures. Monday and Tuesday's won't be the same without running into her looking for that jewel in some odd place. Rest in peace my friend because God has found a treasure in you.
