Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.  <o:p></o:p>

It's hard to see her go, but it was harder to watch <o:p></o:p>

her waste away. <o:p></o:p>

It was so hard to see her that way, <o:p></o:p>

because all I’ve ever seen her as<o:p></o:p>

 was this strong, loving, 5'4 ' 275lb black woman,<o:p></o:p>

A single mother of 4, who took in 3 other<o:p></o:p>

kids that were being neglected by their family<o:p></o:p>

all on her single income.<o:p></o:p>

None of them ever went without.<o:p></o:p>

Where as most people would make sure that <o:p></o:p>

their own had first, that wasn't her style,<o:p></o:p>

If her oldest son got <o:p></o:p>

so did her oldest semi adopted son.<o:p></o:p>

Over the last couple of weeks it <o:p></o:p>

was hard to believe that this 92lb woman<o:p></o:p>

saying that she was ready to go home,<o:p></o:p>

was the same person. <o:p></o:p>

I learned long ago that <o:p></o:p>

Although she is gone from this physical plain<o:p></o:p>

As long as I share <o:p></o:p>

the LOVE,<o:p></o:p>

the STRENGTH,<o:p></o:p>

and the COMPASSION <o:p></o:p>

that she shared with everyone that she has met<o:p></o:p>

that she really isn't gone.<o:p></o:p>

I know i made this longer than it needed to be,<o:p></o:p>

I just wanted to share a little about her<o:p></o:p>

so again i just want to thank you all<o:p></o:p>

for my family and myself <o:p></o:p>

for the well wishes and prayers<o:p></o:p>

as we go through this troubling time.<o:p></o:p>

I love all you<<o:p></o:p>

 <o:p></o:p>

Thanks Bishop<o:p></o:p>
