To my family: Marion, Monica, and William
My heart was saddened to hear the loss of Aunt Bernice. My prayer and sympathy to my cousins. I ‘l leave you with this poem
GIVE ME HOPE
Father, You the pain I feel.
I Know Your loving hands can heal
The suffering and the pain I bear,
If Your yoke of burden I wear
Raise me up and help me stand.
Show me that I now can cope.
For You alone can give me hope.
Missing you Auntie,
your neice,
Pamela Ellis White
