OUR HEAVELY FATHER HAS KEPT HIS WORD.

HE PROMISED

WHO SO EVER BELIEVE IN ME SHALL NOT PARISH.

YOU WILL DWELL IN HIS HOUSE FOREVER.

YOUR MOTHER, OUR AUNT TRUELLY BELIEVED

THAT ONE DAY SHE WOULD GO HOME TO BE WITH HER HUSBAND.

SHE BELIEVED SHE WOULD DWELL IN GODS HOUSE FOREVER. WHEN SHE CLOSED HER EYES ON DECEMBER 17^TH SHE SEEN HER

PROMISE LAND. SHE RAN, AND RAN, SHE COULD NOT WAIT.

WHEN SHE GOT TO THE GATE, SHE WONDERED TO HERSELF, WILLIE IS LATE.

SHE OPEN THE GATE AND THERE HE STOOD, IN THE LAND GOD HAD PROMISED.

JR, VERN, SHE COULD NOT SPEAK. HER HEART GREW WEAK.

SHE SMILED, SHE LOOKED AT YOU ON THIS EARTH, THE TWO CHILDREN SHE ONCE HAD BIRTH

SHE DROPPED A TEAR, SHE WANTED YOU TWO TO KNOW SHE WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR., BUT IT IS TIME FOR HER TO GO. GOD , WITH HIS SON OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND , HAS TAKEN YOUR MOTHER TO THE PROMISE LAND. WILLIE JR, WHEN YOU SAT WITH YOUR MOTHER THAT NIGHT, SOMEONE SAID, BERTHA YOU MUST FIGHT. YOUR DAD WITH A COOL BREEZE REPLAID, YOUR MOM IS TO BE WITH ME, YOU SEE HER SOUL IS NOW FREE . SHE IS NOW HOME. THERE AT THE GATE SHE KNEW SHE HAD TO GO IN THE LAND THAT GOD HAS PROMISED. WE WILL DWELL IN HIS HOUSE FOREVER.
