Hello, my cousins. We will all remember how loving and beautiful Aunt Nellie was and continues to be in our hearts. Let our memories of her bring joy and happiness to our minds and hearts in the midst of our grieving, for we are truly blessed by God because he has shared her with us. Let us see our memories of her as continued hugs. We can rejoice that just as our Lord and Saviour lives, so does our great matriarch. May we find comfort in knowing that she is with God now and because she is with our Heavenly Father, may our temporary separation be easier to bear.
I love you all-
Sabrina Belinda Johnson

Andre,
I heard about your Mom today. You have been a blessing to me whenever we bump into each other on our commute. I still remember the special thanksgiving turkey recipe you shared with me that your Mom made. I could visualize and smell the delicious bird as as you described it. And then you said how you had turkey early one thanksgiving after the enormous bird touched the oven element. There was joy coming out of that story, with a big hearted Mom at the center of a big family. Thanks for sharing a small piece of her wonderful life.
My sincere condolences on this sudden loss, and may the Almighty give you and your family comfort. I pray this in the Mighty Name of our Blessed Jesus who is Christ, into whose arms she is in as you weep.
