"I've left life's journey and finally made it home to be with my Heavenly Father. There were times we laughed, we cried, and experienced God's love on earth. But weep no more, I now rest in the Arms of Jesus and am walking down the streets of Gold. Our time in life is precious, just know that I am now happy, safe and whole. When you think of me you should be filled with joy that I am now at my Heavenly Home waiting for you all. I LOVE ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH! ALOHA A HUI HO and Malama my ‘Ohana.'" Services will be Thursday, March 1 at 10 a.m. at Second Baptist Church, 222 E. 8th St., Little Rock, officiated by Dr. James Thomason, followed by interment at Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery in North Little Rock.
