For My Grandpa
Baba, as I write this I cannot hold back the tears especially as you passed away in my absence. I was looking forward to finishing my masters and coming home to show you my certificate, as I know you would have being proud of me, but Alas death has deprived me of this.
I am truly grateful to God for blessing me with a Grandfather like you, so peaceful, calm, loving and most especially God-fearing. It is amazing how much knowledge and wisdom you had. You taught me to always work hard to be successful in life. I will miss all the intelligent conversations we used to have. For in my life, you have played a special part, the memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart I am very happy that my children had the privilege of meeting you because I would never have been able to describe how wonderful you were.

So many broken hearts are left behind, but in our deepest despair our greatest comfort lies knowing that, you are now at peace with the angels and God.
So as times passes our tears will dry, our hearts will mend but our love for you will never

    WOOSTER — Family members, longtime friends, fellow pastors and law enforcement officials gathered in the basement of the Wayne County Justice Center recently to wish a tireless worker farewell as he headed into retirement. “His heart was always in the right place,” Capt. James Richards said of the Rev. Lee Anderson, the chaplain of the Wayne County Jail for the past 41 years who was retiring. Richards read a passage from the New Testament about how Jesus thanked his followers for feeding him, caring for him, clothing him and visiting him in prison. Not recalling when they ever did those things to Jesus, his followers asked when did they do it.…

    More than ever what I wished for our parents was for them to receive prayers of comfort and peace. As i watch over my family grieving I felt the hardest part was watching them call my brother and hearing them tell him I was gone. The funny thing is that I knew my parents and my brother loved me, but I never realized the amount of their love and the love from so many of my friends. Actually, what struck me most was the I had no idea how much so many people cared for me and Lauren until we were gone. Seeing my brother’s anguish as he processed the news he just received was truly…

    I miss you and the others at home awfully, but the tedious past two years of battle have been in our favor, so at least my absence has been of some aid to the Confederacy. Life back at the plantation seems like a dream when you live as a soldier. Working on the vile-smelling fields with our slaves for hours upon hours will always appeal more to me than the copious hours of marching and drilling the generals put us through; the aching of my feet after every practice burns more than my throbbing fingers ever did. All of the pain endured because of my service cannot compare to the agony of being away from home so long. Calling what I feel “homesickness” would be a complete understatement.…

The bravery and feelings you never shared until death, the love behind my husband's letters and what I believed was his depth, I know as yours.

    The Day I Died Eulogy

    Kelsey Palmer Anderson Astronomy October 31, 2014 "Even today, there are moments when what I do seems to me like an improbable, if unusually pleasant dream: to be involved in the exploration of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn; to try to duplicate the steps that led to the origin of life on an Earth very different from the one we know; to land instruments on Mars to search there for life; and perhaps to be engaged in a serious effort to communicate with other intelligent beings, if such there be, out there in the dark of the night sky", I said this in 1973, and it held up till the day I died. I was born on November 9th in 1934. If I could describe myself back then, I'd say I was a childhood science fiction addict. It was when…

    Eulogy It never occurred to me that I would be up here so soon, talking about my Grandmother, Joyce White instead of celebrating her birthday with her and talking about the good old times when I was a little girl. I remembered my Grandmother as a beautiful lady with long black dark hair, rosy cheeks and red lips. She was not your typical grandma who baked cookies, stay in the house all day and knit sweaters, she was a woman who enjoyed life to its fullest. I used to remember when I was a little girl, I would love when my grandma comb my hair, she would plait my hair and when she is done, I would say to her, “Mama do not forget to fix my baby hair at the front with the brush,” she would smile and say “yes Kay, I did not forget.” She was a…

    It’s taken me a while to get to where I am today, and I must thank you for most of it. A Stepdad was never a thing I thought I’d have – I had become so used to the idea of one Dad and one Mom, that any other relationship seemed inconceivable. As a eight -year-old, it didn’t really feel like I had a say in anything, including you – which, let’s face it, I didn’t. I must have thought you coming into our lives would weaken the close bond I’d formed with my Mom, and I didn’t want to lose that.…
