Jonetta Williams, 52, of Albany ny

As we mourn the lost of our mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend let's also celebrate the time God allowed us to embrace her on this earth. "It's ok to cry just don't drown in your tears baby!" She would say.

The grief and heartache we feel

Bears witness to the depth of our love

You never failed to do your best,

Your heart was true and tender

You simply lived for those you loved,

And those you loved remember

Life is not measured by the years you live,

But the love you gave and the things you did.

God looked around His garden,

And found an empty space,

He looked upon the earth

And found a tired face,

He put his arms around you, and lifted you to rest.

The garden must be beautiful,

because He only takes the best.

God will link the golden chain still closer

when we meet again.

Always happy, a smiling face,

A special soul no one can replace.

Softly within the shadows,

There came a gentle call,

With farewells left unspoken,

You quietly left us all.

God gives but does not take away,

He keeps safely above

For us, the treasures that we love.

The passing of time will never diminish

The memories we have of you.

The tide of life ebbs and flows,

But the gates of memory never close
