Donna Mitchell

Although I never had the chance to meet Ms. Kemp face to face, I did have the opportunity to speak with her on the phone, as well as, through email communication. While speaking to her, I can feel her smile and the glow of her beautiful spirit through the phone. As Kim's friend, I would like to express my condolences and deepest sympathy in the loss of your mom. Although she is irreplaceable, her spirit will remain in your hearts and souls. Kim, I am just a phone call away...whatever the hour...I will be there. Love Always, Charmene and Jasia Allen.

I'm going to miss the friendship that we share...LOVE YOU

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in the green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: I will  dwell in the Lord's house forever. Amen ~ Psalm 23

PEACE BE WITH YOU AUNT MARIE...I LOVE YOU ANGEL. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU. GO RIP, EVERLASTING LOVE PEACE AND GRACE.

I am oh So Proud: If when you give the best of your service he'll say Well done

What a blessing it was to have Marie as a sister-in-law. I will miss having her in my life, and I will miss her lively and spirited personality.  Not only did she treat me like family, but her wit and humorous stories always made me laugh. 
   Bonnie, Charlotte, Kim, and Leonard
my heart is broken too!  You have my deepest sympathy. I shed tears because she's gone and smiles because she lived.

  and a cure was not to be. So, He put his arms around her and whispered,
'COME TO ME'. "

Do not Stand at My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Author Mary Frye

My condolences and prayers to my cousin Leonard Kemp and family of Dorothy M. Kemp.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He
maketh me to lie down in the green pastures;
He leadeth me besides the still waters. He
restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy
rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest
a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth
over. 

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the
Lord forever. 23rd Psalm ~

PEACE BE WITH YOU AUNT MARIE...GO REST
