The Loss of a Dear Mother
By LaJoyce Ann Brawley
The love of a mother never goes away,
It will be with you each and everyday
She might be absent from the body,
But knowing she is present with the Lord.
The closeness you share from her heart,
Her warm spirit will never part.
Ms. Brenda left a prayer legacy with all the intercessors that will never part.
She is dancing and singing with Mama Rose, Billy, and Kevin and still intercede for
her children Toni, Robert, Rennie, Cynt, Andrea, Kim, Yana, Deshawn, Pat and all her family, prayer partners and friends.
When you see blessings and things have been intercepted and the impossible
she’s interceding on our behalf.
Celebration of Life Services will be conducted Wednesday, December 30, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. at Rutledge and Bigham Funeral Home. Bishop Samuel Thomas will officiate.
