You've gone into another realm. A place we cannot go. You've left us here with broken hearts. But will you ever know? You've left us with words unspoken, "I'm sorry," is never to be said. Your laughter is now only in dreams. Your joy no longer will be spread. You've left us to be seen no more, But here, we must stay. The beautiful sparkle in your eye, Is no longer, it's faded away. You've left us, so we'll hold to the day When we're together once again. We're broken ...

My mother seems so far away from me On that beautiful white shore across the sea. Yet I remember love's soft glow upon her face And the feel of her touch and tender embrace. When I am weary from the burdens I've borne, And the path is unclear and I feel so forlorn, I remember her loving support was always near And her advice made the path ahead seem clear. When I feel there is no one who seems to care, Or when the heartache seems too hard to bear, I remember how she always stood by my ...

There's magic in a mother's touch And sunshine in her smile There's love in everything she does To make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage Just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy. Her works are warm and wise. There is kindness and compassion To be found in her embrace. And we see the light of Heaven Shining from a mother's face. On February 20, 2026, God in His infinite wisdom called home His beloved, Mother Pernell "Nellie" ...

 I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead – . He is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you – O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return – , Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; And loyal still, as he gave the blows Of his warrior-strength to his ...

It's hard to understand  Why God takes those we love.  Does He need them more than we do, In Heaven's up above? No one on earth can pretend To know what's in God's plan. All we can do is take it on faith And trust we'll see our loved ones again. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Ricky Washington, 63, of Santee, SC on Friday, February 20, 2026 at the MUSC Orangeburg surrounded by his loving family.    

Your Mother is Always With You -Deborah Culver She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She’s the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep. She’s the colors of the rainbow. She is Christmas morning. Your mother ...

Son, I wish I could wake up and see you standing there. Then I would know that it was just a nightmare. Son, I remember when you were small and how you would hold my hand, and as you grew older you became my best friend. Son, I have 45 years of memories that I will treasure and keep safe in my heart. We share a bond that time and distance can never break apart. Son, oh how my heart aches so. I would love to have you back and never let you go. Son, where there was happiness, now there is ...
