"Missing You Aunt Josie"                   "I woke up this morning with a tear in my eye; reached up to wipe it, and I started to cry. My world without you is shattered, torn apart; and broken up into pieces along with my heart. I want you and need you don't you know; you were the most beautiful aunt, and I loved you so. I can't stand this distance of us being apart..... It's making me weak; it's breaking my heart" "My Aunt Josie meant the world to me. She taught me about faith in God, and what the true meaning of God's love is.  As a little boy in Arkansas; I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Her inner spirit and beauty far exceeded the physical beauty. I vowed to one day marry a woman as beautiful as my Auntie. Fast forward to an adult in Dallas; I met a young woman with a spirit similar, but never duplicated. I'm so thankful for all the love and nurturing given to me by my beautiful aunt, and to this day; her teachings, love, and charismatic charm is my uncompromisable value in the respect for Queens today. Thank you Aunt Josie, and thank God for blessing me with such a beautiful Auntie that I'll never forget for the rest of my life.  Kenneth Ford I

A poem from Aunt Josie on the 3rd aniversery of her entrance to Heaven's Gates.I'M FREEDon't grieve for me, for now I'm free.I'm following the path God laid, you see.I took His hand when I heard him call.I turned around and left it all.I could not stay another day,To laugh, to love, to work or play.Tasks left undone must stay that way,I've found the peace on a sunny day.If my parting has left a void,Then fill it with remembered joys.A family shared, a laugh, a kiss,Oh yes, these things, I too, will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.My life's been full, I savored much,Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.God wanted me now; He set me free.I will miss my Auntie Josie.
