My precious older sister, you will be missed so very much. Although this road has been at times, long and weary, yet we have known the one from where our strength cometh. Thank you JESUS! He is faithful. As we go on without you, we have wonderful memories of our times together. I love you, your sister, Geraldine

In the lighting of this candle I want to acknowledge one of the most important key persons in my life. Beulah was a very giving person. She shared with me several of her prized possessions. Once a possession of hers lived inside of her and grew, growing up to become one of four great men. This wonderful man became the love of my life since I was 17. She shared the most prized possession in her life The Light of the world, the Maker of all. She instilled in me her love for God by showing compassion like Christ had shown her. Taught me that our bodies are the temple for the Spirit of God to reside in after we repent and get baptized in Jesus name following the scripture Acts 2:38. If she knew of a need I had she would do anything in her power to share what she had or could do to help. She took me to church when I was 18 and I know for certain she prayed for me. Looking back I cannot think of her ever talking down to me, talking bad about me nor others. Can't even recall us having words with each other. Beulah shared her life with me in the greatest way by showing me life is worth it all no matter what. Beulah gave her life to family no matter how you was connected instilling in each of her children the same. Beulah Land is her home now and she is waiting for us all to join her soon. Please follow what she has taught us all to do: to love God, love life and each other, to always pray but praising Him in all things. Love you Beulah and wish I had let you know how much I appreciated you in my life. Will miss you. See you in Gloryland
