Dear Family,
My prayers are with you in this very difficult time. The community's and family's love for Jackie was evident in her beautiful Home Going Service. Lost for words; I searched for a poem that might bring comfort and remind all of us that while we may not be able to see Jackie, she is never too far away. Her words, deeds, and love will live on in each of us.
When You Remember Me
When you remember me
Please do not weep
My body may not be here
It has chosen to sleep
I'm not that far away
My soul lives on
Looking down, watching over
You and everyone
And when you feel sad
And life seems so blue
Just remember
That my spirit has its arms around you
And on those special days
Times that you wish that I could see
That cool breeze flowing past you
Well, that will be me
So don't be sad
Have no fear
God has taken me under his wing
But I'll always be near
I still watch you
Every minute, every day
My love and soul are with you
And that's where they will stay
I love you and I pray that God will keep you strong and grant you peace.
Your Cousin,
Marcella Monk Flake
