For Our Beloved Aunt, Gwendolyn "Jay" Hoff Phillips
We Love You and We'll Miss You!

Feel no guilt in laughter, She'd know how much you care

 

Feel no guilt in laughter, she'd know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; she would not want you to.
She'd hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safely within your heart.

Please Help Us With the Final Arrangements

Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for all of your support throughout the years with Curtis. I remember every kind word and deed you did for Curtis and me. It has been a long, long journey and it has ended in a tragedy. We still don’t know what happened in Curtis’s final hours and perhaps we will never know but at least I know he’s at peace now.

In lieu of flowers, I am asking you to make a contribution to the DeKalb Family Policy Council, a cause I have supported for many, many years. Make your check or money order to DeKalb Family Policy Council (DFPC) and mail to P.O. Box 2512 Stone Mountain, GA 30083
.

For my friends who cannot make a financial contribution, you can call a parent who you know is struggling and ask how you can help.

Your support has meant the world to Curtis and me. Each of you knows how Curtis touched your life and I hope you will remember him fondly.

Celebration of Curtis' life will be held Saturday April 12, 2014 @ 3:00 pm in the back yard of our home: 4569 Allgood Springs Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083 

Viewing
When: Friday April 11, 2014
Where: Raleigh Rucker Funeral Home
2199 Candler Rd. Decatur, GA 30032

Time: between 1 pm and 8 pm

Sincerely,
Ramona Deshield

Celebrate the Life of Nelson Mandela

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."      --- Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela passed away on Thursday evening, December 5, 2013, in South Africa. As the world mourns the passing of the former South African President, Nelson Mandela, let us remember that this time is more of a celebration than a time for weeping and grieving.

Excerpt from Mandela's favorite poem, Invictus

It matters not how strait the gate,

      How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

      I am the captain of my soul

Rest if you Must.... But Don't You Quit!

“Hold your head high, stick your chest out. You can make it. It gets dark sometimes but morning comes. Keep hope alive. Don’t you surrender!  Suffering breeds faith. In the end faith will not disappoint.”  

                                     –Jesse Jackson, American civil rights activist,minister

As you read the quote by Rev. Jesse Jackson keep these verses in mind from 

 James 1:2-4,

Harry Belafonte Wins NAACP's Springarn Medal

February 1, 2013 marks the arrival of Black History Month 2013 and the 44th Annual NAACP Image Awards. This year's awards show was  televised live on NBC and hosted by Blessings, himself, Steve Harvey (inside joke for SHMS listeners). The big winner of the night was Harry Belafonte, who was presented the Springarn Medal by longtime friend and fellow actor, Sidney Poitier. Since 1915, the Springarn Medal has been presented to an American of African decent who has exhibited the highest achievement in their chosen field.  Belafonte is an American singer, songwriter, actor and social activist.  Belafonte's career took off with the film Carmen Jones (1954). Soon after, he had several hits—"The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" and "Jamaica Farewell."  Throughout his career he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes.  Despite the injustices that Belafonte has seen around the world, he still believes in man's basic humanity,  and has dedicated his life to making the world better for its children.
