Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all, Just thought of us that day.
whatever you did to console our hearts, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH WHATEVER THE PART.

OUR TEARS CONTINUE TO FLOW AS SHE IS GREATLY MISSED!

Nettie Lucretia Davis

My family and I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all those who financially and emotionally supported us during our time of bereavement for the Late Nettie L. Davis. It's a tough time to loose a loving relative that was full of zest such as Grandma who was an asset to our family. God knows best and she has found her seat in Heaven next to all those who have past on. Again, thanks and God's blessings to all.

Mama, it's been almost four months since the cold hands of death snatched you away from us leaving that emptiness in our hearts that no one can ever fill. You heard the call of your Master and Savior and responded to it. Sleep on Mama. We love you but The Almighty God Who give you to us thought the need to take you away from us at the time we needed you most in our lives. We cannot question his works, but trust that He will keep you until that Great Getting Up Morning when we all shall meet you again. Take your rest Mama, in the bosom of Abraham.

For and on behalf of the Neorh, Howard and Brooks families, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all of you who stood by us in our time of bereavement. We could not have done it all alone without your help. We appreciate your financial as well as moral support, prayers, telephone calls, floral designs, thoughts etc. that we received. We greatly appreciate them. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL.

In 2007 we chose to celebrate your Birthday, December 7th although recognizing your sunset on December 12th.

You mean so much to us. In a special way, we would like to thank you.
For the ability to listen… and see both sides of the coin.
For talking TO us… and not AT us.
For never being too big to say "I'm sorry".
For your courage to admit… "I may be wrong".
For being the Peacemaker and teaching us
Not to hold a grudge or malice,
For in doing so, we hurt ourselves.

For teaching us to be Humble,
Not to place ourselves on pedestals above anyone else,
Regardless of age or circumstance.
By example, you have shown that Helping is better than hurting.
That truly caring is richer than financial gain,
This we came to know is what saved your life,
Through three changes of power.

You have taught us, what was sometimes hard to learn:
That instead of constantly complaining
About what others have done to us,
We should count our many blessings
And realize how fortunate we really are.

Observing how quick you are to give and not eager to receive,
Looking in your closets, over the years,
At unopened gifts we'd forced you to accept,
Your lessons become more easily understood.

Thanks for being a true Patriarch and FRIEND. Thanks for sharing your life, love, wisdom, thoughts and all that you've had with us.

Thank you message from the Corneh/Dorley families

We the family of the late Geeta Corneh, would like to extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all of our relatives, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances for your thoughts, prayers, cards, generous donations, endless phone calls, kind words and messages of condolence and sympathy we received during our bereavement on the sudden loss of our daughter, mother, granddaughter, sister, wife, niece, aunt, cousin, in-law, and friend, Geeta Corneh. We would especially like to thank Zainab S. Kamara (JB) and Marian Jabateh (Nahtama) for their hard work. Our sincere thanks and appreciation go out to the Dawa committee at the African Islamic Community Center, in Philadelphia, the Kamara family, the Turay family, the Dorley's descendant organization, and for the respectful and dignified manner in which our beloved late Geeta's funeral arrangements were handled in Liberia.

Our family here in the USA/Liberia appreciated very much the presence of everyone who traveled from far and near, especially in that terrible weather on Sunday, just to be with us. We were overwhelmed by the number of people both in the USA/Liberia who came to join us in celebrating the life of our dear late sister Geeta Tehtee Corneh-Sesey. Some times we often wonder why God allows us to go through such a devastating situation, but during these times, you get to know who your family and friends are, indeed.

Once again, please accept our wholehearted thanks and appreciation for being there to help console us during our great loss. We will always treasure your expressions of sympathy during this most difficult time. May God continue to bless, guide, and protect all of us…

May Allah bless her soul. Sister Geeta, rest in perfect peace until we meet again.
Massa, Lagbeah Fatu and the entire Corneh/Dorley families

IN LOVING MEMORY OF ROSETTA O. AWODE
 
 Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore, lands the voyager at last. The hand of time has reminded us that one year ago, on October 17, 2006, your precious life was taken away by evil gun men. You woke up on that day assuming it was just an ordinary day. You went about your normal duties, little did you know that it was your day of summon to a higher calling. We continue to ask the question, "Why so soon?" We have come to realize that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Not a day goes by that you are not thought of. You continue to live in our hearts every second of the day. As you take your rest from this world full of hatred and greed, we can rest assure that you are in a better place. May your home-going bring us to the realization that our times are in God's hand. Left behind, we wait in trust for the Resurrection Day.
