Zearline hearing the phone ring without you on the other end, has me really missing my cuz-prayer sister-friend; we laughed enough to last forever, and prayed through stormy weather; I know time won’t permit me to turn back the hand on our final hour, but the one thing i do know, God has picked a beautiful flower; RIH
on the other side, I will cherish our memories
Zearline my heart is broken to hear of your passing and I hope you know that I love you deeply. I am going to miss your wisdom and our long talks. No one knew this family better than you and this part of my life will forever be empty without you. You were on my mind all weekend long and I failed to reach out to you. Thinking I would call you after the holidays assuming you were busy celebrating with your family. I thought I had time but god said no you don’t. I have learned when someone is own mind it’s meant for you to reach out to them. Lesson learned, tell your family you love them because we never know when God will call them home. Love you Zearline, I will forever be in mourning.
Praying for the family,hold on to the memories
