Mother LaVerne,
You have always been a mother to the world every opportunity you had the Word of GOD was shared by you the questions were: do you know Jesus, have you received Him as your LORD and Savior and do you go to church, where and do they teach the Gospel the good news. I have known you since Wanda and myself was in 4th grade and as we were growing up throughout our teenage years also, as young adults before leaving out the door you made sure we were taking The LORD with us. There was so many times visiting with you coming into the house you had the Bible in your hands or in reach of you. Your foundation and salvation has and will always be in Our Heavenly Father.
You imparted this same spirit into your children and grandchildren. You taught them to love, care and share so great that they were able to follow your instructions and that love was nourished at home when needed to be by your side GOD given them the grace to do so also, wisdom to become caretakers while sharing their love for you, in the mist of doing so The LORD blessed them to be certified in home care administering in different areas concerning your health, while allowing your anointing to come on your children and grandchildren. They began graduate from colleges in medical, military and other areas. You taught your family to bond together and always by there side.
Your impact of Love is so strong it’s not just a memory it is a path to follow The LORD.
As you have transitioned to Heaven to be with Our Heavenly Father my family and I would like to say, thank you, for your goodness you have shared with so many people and helping to direct our path to the salvation GOD wants us to have and that is to be and to get Saved to be ready for Jesus return. Thank you, for the seed you planted in my life The Word of GOD.
Love you, BFF Wanda and my Gillespie Family
Minister Dr. Madelyn Brown Parker
