Family - I had to share this most beautiful email I received from Brother T to comfort me in the passing of my baby sister. It was such an encouragement and I was granted permission to share with you.
"I am so hurt to feel the pain expressed in your voice, in your words, and even in your pauses. I think when we lose someone near and dear to us the hurt is even more, and if I can say it this way, the world never had the opportunity to know just how good our loved ones made is us feel. They never saw or heard the good times, the wit, the inside jokes, the innocent silly childish years of games and developing what I like to call, (that thing that only you and your lost love one knew.) For example: my mother, sister and I had gone to the drug store, this was about 1967 or 68, and our mom had told us to wait in the car while she was in the store, in the those days, white ladies use to wear scarfs on their heads when it was raining. When the first lady was leaving the story, she looked back at the other and said “ I have two” and she held up two fingers. To us, that was the funniest thing we saw that day. Over the years we would often tease each other by saying, totally out of the blue, “I have two.” That was our running joke. The last time I was visiting Joyce in the hospital, is often sick and hospitalized in the last 15 years of her life. She was in and out of a coma and highly drugged, I said to her, “I have two” and, as best she could held up her you 2 swollen fingers. About two or 3 months later my mother called me and told to get down to DC ASAP, as Joyce’s heart and Kidneys where starting to fail. When I got there, making my way to her room, I saw her son, and my nephew who told me mommy’s gone. I was too late. I remember to this day the two of us breaking each other up with our inside little joke, “I have two”, from 1967 or 68. Always remember the things that you and your sister shared in the good time together, as they will help you through the current times of mourning. Give Much Thanks & Praise to ABBA YAHUAH for the good and great times that you had with your sister. Never forget her laughter, silly sayings, jokes and teasing, & the jokes the two of you made at other's expense either. You are be stronger, you have overcome, you have the victory in waking up the rest of The House of Yisrael. You have the Power of YAHUAH, Through His Salvation YAHUSHA. You are a walking success because of the faithfulness of our soon coming
Great & Awful KING YAHSHA The HA-MASHIACH"
