Remembering my Beloved, Mother

By Apostle Tonya

And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Revelation 14:13

Days before my mother’s transition to Heaven on October 14, 2008, I was led by the Blessed Holy Spirit to remaineth with her for a certain time in her blessed home filled with the aroma of prayers and her unwavering faith to be healed from a sickness whereby had afflicted her most greatly.  

Surely, thy Lord’s grace was sufficient for me to care for His Daughter during this time whereby ofttimes I became overcome in tears as I discerned the holy Presence surrounding my mother was most unusual.  Those precious days spent doing my mother’s hair and dressing her would becometh our final days together on Earth.  

I might say, my dearest mother, and first best-friend lived a joyous and abundant life for the Lord Jesus.  Mother, was a gifted graphic artist who used her talent working for many years at the New York Telephone Company (whereby is now named, Verizon). In mother’ later years, she served with the most blessed joy as an Assistant Guidance Counselor in an Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn High School.

Never desiring to leaveth her native, of Brooklyn, New York, mother even tutored elementary students after-school at the selfsame school I attended as a young girl. Yet, I might say, mother’s heart never left her love to sing! Oh, mother was a most anointed singer who answered every telephone call with a song in her heart exalting our Blessed Master.  

Thy Lord knowest mother most enjoyed worshipping Him and reading the Holy Bible wherefore her Friend, our Risen Christ bestowed the blessedness of grace upon her to teacheth most well.  

And so, it hath been quite some years since my beloved mother departed this Earth for her Heavenly Home.  Yet, I might say, for me a long season of mourning was spent alone.  And today as I honor the day our most Holy God called my three younger siblings (Maine, Ron and Jenny) and my beloved mother to entereth into Eternity; I giveth Him the laud, glory and honor for her blessed life.

Surely, I miss her. Amen.
