Lois Mae Carter Davis, there are no words that can express your absence. Your legacy was amazing. Your heart was golden. Your laugh was infectious. You are truly an inspiration; a real hero and role model for all women. You survived the odds a thousand times. Unfortunately, it was your time to go. Actually, while we are all mourning the loss of our dearest nana, you passing away is unfortunate for everyone EXCEPT you because you deserved better. You were too good for what is here on earth so you became an angel on that beautiful Thursday afternoon. You were always an angel here on earth to so many but now you are all of ours' guardian angel.
I wrote a little poem well its more of a note about us losing our dearest, sweetest and most beautiful nana. Here is how it goes:
God saw you were growing tired of this pain.
A Cure was not destined for there would be no gain.
He wrapped his arms around you as it was time to say good bye.
God told you Lois Mae raise your arms it’s time to fly.
Nana you became an angel today, our guardian angel.
You didn’t deserve the pain you felt,
So God laid you to rest as he took you under his wing
And into the gates of Heaven you flew.
Oh wow how beautiful and amazing Heaven must be.
After all, they only accept the best and that is why you are there looking down on us
We yearn for a few more minutes or even a few more seconds with our amazing nana.
That would be selfish though for us to wish you were still because it was your time to go.
Our only comfort is that we know you are in a better place with no more suffering.
You would not want us to be sad or bitter or question God
But you’d want us to turn our grief into joy by doing for others.
Your legacy will live on in our hearts and through our good deeds towards others.
We will long for you and cry for you every day because you are worth every lonely moment we feel and every tear we shed.
I will love you and miss you each and everyday for the rest of my life, Lois Mae, my hero, my role model, my nana.
I will always remember my nana's laugh and her smile. They lit up the entire room. Everyone she met, she touched their hearts and engaged their mind. Even as she began to grow more sick, she still had a kind word for everyone; she always had the best advice.
Nana had some of THE funniest statements and words to live by:
"who licked the red off your lolipop, sugar?"
"if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen."
"if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all."
"you catch more bees with honey than with vinegar."
"I like strong coffee and weak men." (This was her daily saying when she had her morning cup of coffee.)
"Hmm Lois you are so hott, there should be two of you."
I could keep going on and on but if I did we'd have a book not a blog. Plus, there are really no words great enough to express who my nana was. My only regrets are not being able to spend more time with her and not introducing her to my friends before it was too late.
Allah yr7mha w ysknha jnnat aln3eem ( God forgive her and rest her soul; welcome her to heaven.) Allah akbar. dayman ya rb.
Always and forever in our hearts, Lois Mae Carter Davis. <3
