So sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and all who loved her. May God give each one of you comfort knowing she lived a long life and that one day you will be reunited. When you know the Lord, It is not good-by but I will see you later.
When we we’re kids Mama would load us onto the #3 Summer bus on Broad and we’d ride downtown to the Salvation Army building to each get a stocking full of fresh fruit and little toys. Yes we we’re needy, but we didn’t know it til years later because Mama tried to make Christmas special.
Thank you and God bless.
Ninety three years she was here on earth, She planted her gardens, cherished the dirt. From the country she came, to the city so wide, All who met her knew she was not dignified. Mama said she couldn’t read or write, But her mind was sharp til the end. Her dreams for others were many, Like the stars that dot the night. She spoke her piece mostly when she should, But then choose to stay quiet as we knew she could. So concerned with others, That’s all I heard her talk about. Always proud of her son and daughters, She loved and prayed for them no doubt. I’m glad I had the chance to know her, Hopefully the pleasure wasn’t all mine, She’s walking Heaven’s streets of gold, And with Jesus, true peace she’ll find.
Before we got baby Dee I remember Mama Fisher saying “you don’t need a dog”. Once we brought her home, she INSTANTLY became “the baby”. Dee brought her much delight and it was fun to watch the two of them play together!
So happy to know Mama is with our sister Irene and sharing more love. Miss you Mama.
