Time passes slow to those who grieve.
In behalf of our extended family, I express my heartfelt
gratitude and appreciation to all who stood by us in our time of grief for the
passing of our beloved mother, Mama Annie. I never understood the essence of
funeral wake until we had to hold one for Mama.
To the family, it allowed us time to reflect, digest, and soak up the
grim reality of such an enormous loss, and adjust to a life of significant
void.
Were it not for this tradition, which ushered in friends to
share our grief, to extend their sympathies, to mourn with us, we would have
had to contend with the harrowing sorrows of Mama’s sudden passing by
ourselves. And it would have been very, very, very, difficult.
For the comfort that your presence have brought us, I, once
again, thank you, and may this thought of gratitude respond as well to those
who may be battling their own life’s grief and sorrow.
God bless you.
