Good friends are rare to find. But once found there are shining gems in our life that brings laughter, joy and my friend Jubut, we shared so much laughter which I miss so much. But the day will come when our acquaintances will be renewed, this was a promise made to us all by God. Our laughter, friendship will come again in the presence of our Lord and Master. - Posted by: Alvin Thompson (friend) on: Apr 07, 2013

When I think about my grandmother, I smile because she was an amazing lady. The one thing I regret the most is never getting to sit down to a cup of tea with her. She told me once to come and sit with her so she could tell me about the past. About the family and it's history. I'll never get to hear her words and that's what hurts. Of the whole thing, what makes me really cry is seeing my own father. She was his mom, and when I feel the pain in his eyes it's like it's my own. I can't do anything for him except be there. In the end that's all we really can do, right? - Posted by: Desiree Chippeway (Granddaughter) on: May 03, 2012
