Raeford, North Carolina

Pastor Angelo Bratcher,OfficiAting

DadGod saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,

So He put His arms around you and He whispered,“Come To Me”.

With a tearful eyes I watched you fade away,Although I loved you dearly,

I could not make you stay.A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to proved to us,

He chose to take the best.It’s lonesome here without you, I miss you more each day.

Life doesn’t seem the same since you have gone away.When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong,

I seem to hear you whisper,“Hush Bionca, cheer up and carry on,

I’m not hurting anymore.”Each time I see your pictures,

It seems like your smiling right at me.Saying don’t cry I’m in God’s hands!

Until We Meet Again!Love Your Only Daughter — Bionca

Acknowledgment We the family express word of gratitude and thanks to you our friends and loved ones for all your deeds of kindness and love rendered to us during this time of bereavement. May God’s richest blessings be with you always.

The Family

Special thanks to First Health Hospital, Pastor Angelo Bratcher and the Mt. Sinai Church Family.

BrotherToday is full of memories of a brother laid to rest,

And every single one of them is filled with happiness.For you were someone special,Always such a joy to know.

And there were so much pain,When it was time to let you go.

That’s why this special message is sent to heaven above,For the angels to take care of you,

And give you all my love.

The Sisters ~ Phyllis, Sharon, Charlene & Wilma
