JUST REFLECTING ON MAMA ESSIE AND HOW MUCH A PART OF MY LIFE SHE WAS WAY BEFORE I EVEN BECAME A TEENAGER. I REMEMBER WHEN MY MOM DIED AND THE TALKS WE HAD AFTERWARDS, HER KIND WORDS AND ADVICE REGARDING MY SONS. SHE WAS TRULY ONE OF A KIND. EVEN WHEN I MOVED TO SACRAMENTO WE KEPT IN TOUCH LIKE FAMILY SHOULD, AFTER SOME DEEP CONVERSATION SHE WOULD ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH. WE WOULD END OUR TALKS WITH HER TELLING ME TO TAKE CARE OF MY “CAT”, AND WE ALWAYS SAID I LOVE YOU. I DID AND I ALWAYS WILL LOVE HER. TO MY FAMILY I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HEALING AND COMFORT AND LETS KEEP IN TOUCH, I AM ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY LOVE YOU ALL WILLIE JEAN SPEIGHTS-BROOKS

Essie D. has been a part of the Waller Family of Corsicana, Texas, over 70 years. Essie D. and my sister, Imogene Waller Harp were friends for 60 years. Essie D. had one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. God blessed her with this gift and she sang to the glory of God whenever asked. She has joined the Heavenly Choir and she and Imogene are together again to sing God’s Praises forever. What a day of rejoicing for our Families.

To Buttons, “Prue”, Zippy, and Brenda, The Bible says that we are to rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn (Romans 12:15). Having rejoiced on so many occasions with Essie D. and family we now share in your loss. While knowing that we who die in Christ will spend and eternity in His presence. In view of that’ ” we look not at what is seen but what is unseen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (I Corinthians 4:18). Just saying that “Essie D. is in a better place” is much more than just a cliche: for it is God’s promise to His people! We pray that Essie D.’s love and legacy for Jesus Christ will always be a comfort to you. Phillip & Carla Lacey

I am to going to miss Aunt Essie D. I’ve loved her all my life and thought she was a great Aunt to me, very kind and sweet. She always gave good advice with a gentle way of words. She loved to tell me about our ancestors and their history. May she live on in her children for they all are a fine example of her legacy. May God bless the family…Jacquelyn Hood, Tyler, Texas.
