Debbie Posted by: Debbie Lucas at October 17, 2007 09:27 AMThe Family of Marjorie Batts May God bless and comfort you in the days that follow because we know the adjustment is not going to be easy. When times seem heartrending just remember the love that you shared. Our love always, William, June, Mona & Hope Hill Posted by: June Marjorie Hill at October 16, 2007 07:01 AMCousins Traci, Gus, Kim, Michael and Families, I am deeply saddened about your great loss. My heart aches for all of you. Times spent with Diane and especially during her illness gave me a new appreciation for faith and strength. She exemplified both. You must “Keep the Faith” as she did knowing that God truly loves you, is there for you, and will get you through these hard times. And say as she said many times when things must have been so hard – “I’m not throwing in the towel yet” meaning she was truly leaning and depending on God. For sure this too will give you the strength you need to get through. We loved Diane and love all of you as well and pray that God will bless and comfort you at this time and as only He can! Much Love, Cousin Eva and Family Posted by: Eva Reaves at October 15, 2007 01:30 PMDear Traci & Family, On behalf of the Prince George's County Department of Family Services, I extend to you and your family our heartfelt sympathy. May your heart be quieted by the gentle peace of God, strengthen by the promise of his care, and restful in the comfort of his spirit. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Theresa Grant, Kim,
Dear Traci, Caitlin, Bryan and Clint: My sincere sympathies are with you now. I know God will help you through this difficult time. Just remember Moms hold our hands for a little while, but our hearts forever. She's in a better place! I am here for you if you need me. God Bless You All, Gloria and Fairley Martin Posted by: Gloria Freeman-Martin at October 11, 2007 06:17 PMTraci, Lisa Jenkins Traci, Gus, Kim & Michael Please I am asking that you do not cry, for Diane only went home to meet Jesus in the sky. She has a mansion, a crown, and a beautiful white robe, and what a glory it is for her to walk on streets paved of gold. Traci, Gus, Kim and Michael I must say that, she fought a good fight and Diane kept the faith, and with the help of the Lord she was able to win the race. Now when times get hard and you can't see your way, just fall on your knees and began to pray; listen with your heart and not with your ears you will hear a small voice say I am still here. Perhaps she was born to live here some eighty years or more. But the Lord said, Come, Diane for it is now time for you to go, come go with me and receive your reward on high, in that big city called Heaven up in the sky. Again I am asking that you do not cry, because Diane only went home to meet Jesus in the sky. The day she went home was like a dream come true, because there is nothing like a sky nicely shaded light blue. So if YOU SHED A TEAR, please let it be only tears of JOY.
