Loving Memories to hold as
Treasures in our
Heart...
MY KIND AND LOVING
TRIBUTE
Words cannot express the loss of you my dear cousin. You were one of my favorite cousins who always embraced and greeted me with love whenever we met. Even though we were separated at a very young age when my parents relocated to Nassau, the strong bond between us was never forgotten or broken. We were able to enjoy each others company during your various trips to Nassau. I remember those happy days that you visited our grandparents in the settlement of Smith, in North Caicos. We were so delighted to be together that my mother would say to us, while we were in bed, to stop talking so much and go to sleep. Clearly she didn’t understand the depth of our friendship. I remembered when you were up in the dilly tree and Par Jimmy called out to you and you fell out of the tree but was not hurt. On another one of those fun filled visit to Smith, Ma Liza packed a bag of sapadillas for us to take to your mom in Papua Joe. The trip was long so we searched the bag for ripe dilly and in so doing, we bit each and every dilly in that bag just to find a ripe one without success. When we presented the bag to my aunt Hattie she was amazed to find out that we had damaged the entire bag of dillies.
That was another fun filled weekend that we enjoyed. I cannot forget how kind you your late husband and children treated me on every visit to Provo, especially when my brother Howard had died. Whenever I come back to Provo to visit, I will feel a huge void because you will not be around for us to talk about the good old days. Good bye my cousin rest in the arms of your Jesus whom you served so faithfully.
YOUR LOVING COUSIN
I still see your face before me Your voice I long to hear,
I miss and love you dearly, God Knows, I wish, you were here. Tears fall freely from my eyes, Like a river, filled with grief. My only comfort now, is that, From pain, you’ve found relief.
YOUR DAUGHTER,
Gina

A VERY SPECIAL
Sister
The loneliness is painful
It breaks my heart to see
That you are up in Heaven
And no longer here with me But I know you will be happy now Up where the Angel sings
A place where you are free
To go and spread your wings You will never be forgotten Everyday I think of you
You were my thoughts of yesterday And you’ll be in tomorrow too. Until the day we meet again
I’ll miss you everyday
Keep shining bright in Heaven
So you can light my way
YOUR SISTER,
Brenda Smith-Parker
