MOMMIE, YOUR JOURNEY WITHOUT YOUR BABY
MOTHER MINNIE KENNEDY
Happy Birthday and Mother’s Day. Love you. Sunrise: May 1, 1909 –
Sunset: December 31, 2002
Mommie, your journey to Heaven was very peaceful. Our Father was waiting for you, Honey. Even though, Mom- mie, it was hard, your birthday has come, Sweetie. So for you Mommie, your baby says “Happy Birthday, thanks.”
Continue this journey on Mother’s Day, Mommie. This for all of us, is Mother’s Day without our Mother.
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven. I love you. God needed you to usher for Him. Be good, Mommie.
Love, your baby, Brenda.
It has been six years since that afternoon when God’s pre- ordained time came that we would know you had left this side to the place of “Paradise” with the Lord. God knew ex- actly when to let us know that He had indeed heard our every prayer and healed you. He did not remove sickness from you, however He did remove you from sickness and you were healed and restored. We all miss you every moment of every day, yet we are confident that though you are absent from the body you are present with the Lord. You told me that I had too much work to do and I could not transition for you, I tirelessly continue to work while it is day.
Six years have now slipped into the time called the past and you are still sadly missed by your Hon/Reverend/Hus- band/Pastor W. D. Sims; daughters and their children: Kimberly (Caiden, Averie, Jace, Brooklyn); LaDon (Alyssa, Aidan, Auriel); Kandy (Tyreke, Tyrell), along with Mommie Ivory Mabry, Mother Emmeral Latimer and a host of family members and friends. Your sister, Cassie McCain is still with me, providing that re- assuring and loving support needed as family and member. The St. Matthew Missionary Baptist Church Family contin- ues to remember and memori- alize you as their First Lady. They are around to comfort me at all times. Your words con- tinue to ring: “LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES!” We all miss and love you much, our beloved Precious.
One day my “Precious” I will be on that side where you are. I miss and love you
1st Lady Arsie L. “Precious” Sims July 26, 1948 – April 28, 2016
Praying and watching, but you were not looking at me. Praying and hoping that you would be healed
and restored but you did not rise.
Praying and telling you that I love you
but you did not respond.
Praying, kissing and touching you but
you did not kiss or touch back.
Praying and smiling as I remembered
the good times but you did not smile.
Praying and calling your name but you did not answer. God whispered to your soul and I believe
you joyfully responded.
Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah and Praise His Holy Name!
--Reverend W. D. Sims 4/25/18
MUCH!
We still hear your voice speaking one of your favorite
Scriptures: 1. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Psalms 121:1-2
“LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES!”
