Jerri and I were friends from a young age. We were neighbors in Dallas. Jerri was a young mother but she was a great mother. I remember seeing Kacey with those big, beautiful, brown eyes! I enjoyed going to visit and watching Kacey grow. She was so sweet and funny. I remember Jerri stopping in on halloween and Kacey was the cutest little clown. I remember watching her dance and sing all the time. She loved watching Dirty Dancing. She had an incredible voice. I always said that Kacey needed to be on TV. She was so cute. She used her WHOLE face to express what was on her mind. I laugh just thinking of her expressions..... So sweet. When she was excited!!! You would just burst with joy for her because she expressed joy like no one could. I remember seeing her when she got to talk to "Santa" on the phone. She was always so sweet when I would visit. A beautiful young lady. So many sweet memories..... The sweetest memory I have was when Jerri called me one night. I was so surprised to hear from her! We hadn't talked in so long. She said that Kacey had so many questions about God and wanted to talk to me. I was so thrilled and I agreed to meet her at the apartment. We talked for hours it seemed. I believe it was around 2AM before we finished. Kacey was a young mother by now and was wanting so much to change her life and live for God. I wasn't sure what I was going to say. As I prayed, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, "Just start from the beginning"....so I began talking about Adam and Eve..... and how God created them so that He could pour out His love to them. I told her that God wanted to pour out His love to her. She wasn't sure at first how to get that love....it was beautiful to see the burdens begin to lift from her as she prayed with me that night. Yes, she received His love and forgiveness that night. Her tears told it all. I am so thankful that I was allowed to be there with her. She was so happy and she wanted it so much. Kacey, though your life was troubled at times, I know that- YOU KNEW that God loved you. I know you loved Him. God will bless your family with his love and compassion. Your babies will know Him and He will take care of them. God will wrap his arms around your loved ones and carry them through their sorrow. They will take comfort in knowing that you are with God and you are at peace. I can only imagine the expression you showed with your WHOLE face when you saw Jesus!! I smile when I think about that.....I will see you again sweet girl when the Lord is ready for me to come there too.

                Never Alone!

                           He can calm the troubled waters
                           When you walk in dark despair.
                           There is hope when you feel helpless
                           Knowing that the Lord is there...

                           Sharing in your sunshine moments
                           Or in valleys deep and wide,
                           He is always by your side.

                           There's no other friend so faithful
                           Through the sunshine and rain,
                           Through the teardrops and the laughter,
                           In your joy and in your pain.

                           We could never, ever thank Him
                           For His love He gives so free,
                           Never changing...never ending
                           Throughout all eternity.

                           Oh, the wonder of all wonders
                           As we live from day to day,
                           Knowing that we have a Father
                           Who is with us all the way.
                                          Poet, Gertrude B. McClain

Kacey,

 I know we were not friends, just wanted you to know that I could never take your place in Macie & Payton's eyes I only hope to be a women that they can look up to and help guide them through life with God's help. You will continue to live through them, and you will always be there Mommy.

Casey,

~ We know your life on earth was troubled, and only you could know the pain.
You weren't afraid to face the devil; you were no stranger to the rain.

~ If we had only one wish, and knew it would come true,

One more day with you playing dress up, or have you give us a new hairdo!

~ But now your home…So peaceful and calm on the far side of the sky…

So spread those beautiful and sparkly wings and fly.
 ~ Make friends with a lion, run your fingers through his mane…
Find out what it's like, to ride’em cow girl on a drop of rain!

For there isn’t any more pain!!
~ Your work on earth is done, so go into heaven a shouting

 “Alrighty yall ready to have some fun!”

My Heart Aches for You All, So Sorry for Your Loss!! I cannot take away your pain, but I'm here if any of you need anything.

Much Love Alawys,

Gina McGraw (Shackelford)

 

Jerri and family,

     How fast the years go by.  Seems like only yesterday the Roberts family was busy raising their families.  Ronnie & Glenda left Gadsden and went to GA to start a business and a new life.  We missed them dearly but went up for visits when we could.

     I remember us going to Dallas to see a beautiful little girl named Kasey.  When she was born George was so excited because Kasey  was born on his birthday. 

     Life gets busy, seasons change but love for family continues.  God is always there to take us from the valley to the mountain.  Right now Kasey's family is in a valley.  but with prayer and reading our Bible,  God will help us get to the top of the mountain again.  Kasey's children need to be loved and lifted  up to God daily. 

     My love and prayers are with you.

Aunt Linda

 

 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18...But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, conserning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will bind no means precede those who are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God.  And the dead in Christ with rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore, comfort one another with these words.  

 

We Love you,

Uncle Jackie, Aunt Venice and Family
