Rest In Peace, Ellen Hill!

Ellen L. Hill, 66, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at Self Regional Medical Center. Born in Newberry, SC, she was the daughter of the late Roger Leaks and Phebbie Johnson Leaks. She was a member of Scurry Spring Hill Baptist Church in Chappells. She was a member of the Morning Glory Garden Club, Secretary of AARP and a member of the Women Aide Society No. 47.

Ellen lost her mother last year, May 10, 2011 (See picture of family under Ms. Phebbie Leaks). God bless this family and strengthen them during these times of sorrow.  Please keep her children and grandchildren in your prayers.  One of the grand's birthday was on the same day his grandmom passed.

Matters of the Heart - Tia D!

Another great poem from Tia D!

Came clean of hidden motives

 Now I've begun to see

That all the times that I blamed them

The real problem was me

I should have been more guarded

Less of an open book

In giving up my heart unearned

They had no need to look

But now with all my walls up

And every door secure

I’ve taken back this heart of mine

Protecting it for sure

Won’t give it up so freely

When it’s worth so much more

So if you want my heart this time

You must break through the door

And if you want my trust now

Courageously pursue

Because this time around you see

The choice is left to you

Thanks, Tia!

LILA OUR FRIEND

LILA OUR FRIEND, WE DIDN’T HAVE TO BE AROUND

HER 24 SEVEN,

WE KNEW SHE WAS A HARD WORKING AND WONDERFUL PERSON THAT

WAS ON HER WAY TO HEAVEN.

SHE TREATED PEOPLE THE WAY SHE WANTED TO BE

TREATED BUT ALWAYS WITH A SMILE,

SHE WAS A PERSON WITH A HEART AND WOULD ALWAYS

GO THE EXTRA MILE.

SHE DID NOT ENTERTAIN FOOLISHNESS AND THINGS THAT

DID NOT COINSIDE WITH HER SPIRITUALITY,

SHE KNEW SOME FOLK WERE NOT THERE IN THEIR SPIRITUAL

JOURNEY AND SHE KNEW THAT WAS A REALITY.

SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS,

BUT WE LOVED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS A PERSON THAT

TREATED US LIKE KIN.

“NO EYES HAVE SEEN

NO EARS HAVE HEARD

NO MIND HAS CONCEIVED

FOR WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM”.
