God always keeps his promises. To God Be The Glory !!!

I just recently reconnected with Dolores on Facebook and we had a chance to catch up on each others lives. It has been many years since we have seen each other but there are people that come into your life that you never forget. We had a chance to share stories about our children, our families and our teen years together in school and church. I’m so glad to have had those few moments to share with her and will forever keep her in my heart.

Garden In Heaven

There is a special garden in Heaven
waiting for someone as wonderful as you.
So, The Master took your hand
and gave you eternal life, brand new.
The angels, we can hear them singing.
Small children are telling Jesus the news.
There is a new rose in Heaven
picked by God, that precious rose is You.
It’s hard for us to let you go.
To realize your life on earth is through.
But we’re thankful for all the memories-
seeds of love, planted in our hearts
by a woman whose life was honest and true!

God has called home a special angel, may you rest in peace. To the Burks family you couldn't have raised a better daughter, sister, and friend to many of us over many years.
She will forever stay in my prayers and heart.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. It's comforting to know that God cares for all of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends.” Truly I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one and I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope
