I too had Mrs. Flowers as a teacher in 7th grade at East Cary. I am so sorry for your loss. I wanted you to know what a wonderful teacher she was. Thank you for sharing your mother with countless children for so many years. I know she made a difference in many, many lives.

Dear Leigh, Lonnie, Mary, Suzie, John and family:  As you and your family celebrate the life and home-going of your precious Mother, we join in honoring her memory with thanksgiving for her well-lived life of grace, love and positive example and influence in the lives of so many here in our community.  God's peace and comfort.   

Much love,  Wolf & Robin Wendlandt

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

I have wonderful memories of my childhood spending time at Aunt Vashti and Uncle Ralph's; especially, time with my sweet cousin Sue. Oh, how happy she is to be with her Mom, Dad, and Howard. Glad you are home, Sweet Cousin Sue. See you soon. I love you. Cousin Jackie

We are so sorry for your loss, may peace be with you all.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Sue. We send our condolences to her family. She was not only a good friend to the Eaton family, but was also a great teacher to Warren. We send our prayers and love to her family at this sad time.

We were so sorry to hear of the loss of the love of your life. Remembering your great love story today and always.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I know Sue will forever live on in the hearts of all that she has touched. May God comfort you and give you peace.

Sorry for your loss.  Ms Flowers was my seventh grade teacher at East Cary Middle School (1978-79).   May God bless you all.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
