Nieces and Cousins
An angel lived among us,
A gift from God above. She showered us with kindness
And shared with us her love.
She cherished every moment With the man who was her life; Walking hand in hand together,
Facing life with all its strife.
She loved her children dearly, Each one a different way,
Nestled close within her heart. Though, now, she's far away.
She's gone to live with Jesus.
But, she's here with us, today, Smiling down on every one of us,
And telling us she's okay.
We, the family of Mrs. Sam Ella Brown, would like to extend our heartfelt
appreciation and thanks to all who expressed love, concern, prayers, and all
other acts of kindness during our time of bereavement. May God bless you.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth
there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall
give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all
them also that love his appearing.
II Timothy 4: 7-8 (KJV)
