Extraordinary Woman You Have Been
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. Ecclesiastes (3:1-2, 4) You were able to do all these things while here on earth. We believe that you are now rejoicing with God, family, and friends. It is because of our religion and our faith, as Christians we are believers from our upbringing from you and our grandparent. We know you are a believer. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life. John 3;16 May 17, 2024, marks a year since you transitioned to your heavenly home. We have experienced several holidays, a birthday and Mother’s Day. We miss you and we love you. You cared for others and gave support to countless others. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. Matthew 25:35-36. When you were in the hospital in Baton Rouge, La., a woman who you supervised at the Bethany Nursing Home in New Orleans remembered when you fed her and her children when she didn’t have any money for food.
I met several people after your transition who were in New Roads telling me that you were such a sweet person, or you were a genuinely nice lady and such a kind lady. You left us with words of wisdom concerning life that you shared with your children Gregory Jacks and Bathilda Greta Johnson and your grandchildren Harold Ceasar, Sr., Gretchen amp; Kevin Johnson, Sr., Joel Johnson, Jr., Jerrell Johnson, Sr., Jessica Johnson, and Alicia Johnson who all misses you as well as great-grandchildren. You are truly missed by your siblings Charles Davis, Sr., Norma Lee Raymond, and Nora Lee Davis. You are missed by family Katherine Robertson, Mary Clark, Marjorie Lewis, Clarence amp; Claudia Joseph, Lorita Davis, Preston Oliver, Mary Louise Williams, Yvonne Simmons, Marion Henry, Linda Gremillion, Jennifer Davis, Venessa Celestine, Charlotte Davis, Diane Baham, Sharon Weaver, Cassandra Dozier, Tdarrell, Michelle LeBeau-Rose, Yulinda LeBeau, Alvin Davis, Ernestine Leblanc, Paul Becnel, Aljire amp; Carolyn Joseph, Ruffin Terrance, Jr., Alicia Bellizaire and Oliver Parker. As well as friends, Ida Freeman, Sarah Jack, Elanor Harrison, Edith Joseph, Gail Hurst, Constance Joseph, Joe Williams, Beverely Davis, Esau Kitchen and Mary Norwood. You are missed by the Morningside Street neighbors who welcomed you upon returning to New Roads to include Delphine Bridgewater, Dorothy Joseph, Marie Manchester, Kenneth Bridgewater, Lloyd Bridgewater, Henry Jack, Harold Dixon, Calvin Dixon, Shirley C. Delaney and JoEtta Hunter.
It has been a blessing to share life with you and we owe all the Glory to God! Praise God! Halleluia! Amen!
