Don't spend too much time in mourning. Tears are for the sad. I left to be with Jesus, and this should make you glad. Don't waste your hours in grieving. No need to feel distress. I'm tired of life's frustrations, and had to get some rest. Don't vex yourself with questions, or try to reason why. Life here for me was ended; it came my time to die. Don't lose the love I gave you; feed it with your care. Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Don't fret because my leaving came in such a way. We'll have another meeting, in God's Eternal Day!

Reflections of Her Life

The Order of Celebration

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Apostle LeEunice Lorick, Presiding

She was the daughter of the late Rudolph Jackson and Eugenia Moore Davis. Edna Mae attended Saxon Elementary and also Booker T. Washington High School.

She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a homemaker who loved just taking care of her family, especially her grandchildren. She was known in the neighborhood as a very caring and giving person who would give you her last. Edna Mae loved watching wrestling.

She was preceded in death by her loving and devoted husband of fiftythree years, Lucious Bartley, Jr.
