In Memory of

Our Group has enjoyed Berdella's beautiful

"HEAVENLY VOICE"

many times as she would honor us

by accepting our invitations to sing

for our

YANA (You Are Not Alone )

Bereavement Support Group,

that wonderful

""OLD SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC"

 

Berdella, her daughter, Promise

and sister, Kristal

 have a newly released CD

""THE ROYAL PROMISE TRIO""

 

This past September 07,

an unexpected tragedy,

Berdella losing her 38 year old daughter

Kimmie,

BELOVED daughter of

""Berdella""

sister of 

(Chad & Promise)

mother of three precious children

   (Trevin, Lacy, Chelya)

 aunt, cousin and friend

      (September 18, 2007)

 

Berdella, now beginning her grief journey,

traveling that bumping, rough road

 one day at a time, stumbling along her way,

as now

she is

A BEREAVED MOTHER,

never to be the person, once she was.

This "Kodak moment"

was captured one year ago in January

at a birthday party for Kimberlee’s

youngest daughter, Cheyla.

 

After birthday refreshments,

the family retired to the living room

 and was going through

 old pictures.

 

Well, whenever Promise is around,

there will be pictures taken.

She is a genius at capturing

candid moments

and then

orchestrating different

poses.

 

As this photograph shows,

 it usually turns

into

just having fun

 and

sharing love for one another.

  

This particular picture

captures the closeness of

both daughters

 to each other and to me.

 

I distinctly remember

laughing so hard

 this night as we

goofed around on the floor.

 

I love the fact that

each daughter

 is touching

"me"

 with their hands

and that

""I""

am in between them.

 

What an impossible,

unbreakable bond of love

I still feel

when I view this picture.

 

I can still smell Kimmie’s hair,

and

her cheek when I would kiss her

and

if by some magic

she could reach down from

""Heaven to me,""

 I would recognize,

without seeing,

the

"feel" of her skin.

 

I miss

 my

beautiful daughter

every second.

 

Cherish every moment,

every touch,

 and

every scent

 of those you hold

dear to

 your heart.

grieving Mother 11/14/07
