I just want to take a moment to say thanks for all the calls and posts in response to the loss of my mother. This is a difficult time for me and your warm condolences have helped me to get through the last six days. I thought I would share snippets of my mother's obituary:
"Born November 4, 1941 in Montgomery, AL to the late parents of Mr. Jack and Mrs. Jessie Jones in Minden, Louisiana. Mrs. Washington fought a long, strong battle against cancer with the same diligence she used in life. She departed to her new home with Jesus Christ on Saturday night, July 9, 2005".
"Mrs. Washington was a dedicated federal government employee for over 16 years in which she worked for the US Air Force Academy, US Air Force Strategic Air Command, United States Postal Service, NORAD, Social Security and VA Hospital among other government entities. She wed SGT Willie T. Washington who preceded her in death. Mrs. Washington leaves to cherish her memory, her children, Kevin, Forsythia and granddaughter Tori; and a host of other relatives and friends. Memorial service will be held Saturday, July 16, 2005, 11:00 a.m."
"You will be greatly missed, but our loss is Heaven's gain"
I love you mom!
Your mother’s spirit will forever live on within you. My prayers are with you and your family.
GODSPEED and a Blessed Homegoing to your wonderful mother dear. And my infinite prayers, blessings and condolenses to you and your entire family.
