Acknowledgment
Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece; if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song; if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or deed or touch, whatever was the kindly part, we thank you, oh so very much. We just want to say thank you.

Obituary
Day’zshia Marie McKinley, aged 27, of Fort Worth, was taken from
this life on April 21, 2018.
Dearly loved daughter of Yvette (Tay) Robinson (Ft. Worth) and Melvin McKinley (St. Paul, MN), Day’Zshia is survived by her precious children, Ryland, Dalvin and Tallen Cooper. She was the cherished sister of Melvin and Destiny McKinley, and the beloved granddaughter of Leola Hilliard. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Day’zshia shared her life with a host of family and friends.
Especially For My Children For God's plans are many things we cannot understand, but we must trust God's judgment and be guided by his hand. I have lived, said and done everything that was meant to be. I love and will miss you all, but we will meet again. There is never a heart so broken, that the loving Lord can't heal. Remember me as you walk by for as you are now, once was I. As I am now, so shall you be. Prepare yourself to follow me. Love, "Mommy"

The Journey of My Life
It was beautiful as long as it lasted, the journey of my life. I have no regrets whatsoever save the pain I’ll leave behind. Those dear hearts who love and care… and the strings pulling at the heart and soul… The strong arms that held me up when my own strength let me down. At every turning of my life, I came across good friends, friends who stood by me even when time raced by me. Farewell, farewell, my friend. I smile and bid you goodbye. No, shed no tears, for I need them not. All I need is your smile. If you feel sad, do think of me, for that’s what I’d like. When you live in the hearts of those you love, remember then, you never die. Rabindranath Tagore
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
