Aunt Shirley, my heart goes out to you. God called another one of His angels home. And we know He does not make mistakes. There is a glimpse of peace and promise in this. And that is when you take comfort in the memories you have of your firstborn and know that one day you will see him again. Mookie's memory is your keepsake with which you will never part. I love you. ❤️🙏🏽🤗

Mookie and I were more than just first cousins. He was like a brother to me. In one of our last conversations recently, he said, "Hey kuz luv u guys how is everybody the family good tell everyone I said hey." My first instinct was to take a red pen to that message. LOL!! But that was Mookie. He checked on his family, no matter what. He will definitely be missed. I love you, too, Mookie. 😭🥹

Aunt Shirley Jenkins, Andra Battle, Nathaniel "Man Man" Battle III, Quatelia Stevenson, and the rest of our family, sincere condolences, love, thoughts, and prayers. 🙏🏽❤️

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." — Psalms 30:5 🙏🏽

I found the following quote and poem and wanted to share them:

When I Am Gone (To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me)

"When I am gone, release me - let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while; if grieve, you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.

I will not be far away, for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home."

*****************************************************

To the Living, I Am Gone

"To the living, I am gone; to the sorrowful, I will never return; to the angry, I was cheated; but to the happy, I am at peace; and to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot speak, but I can listen. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard."

Love and prayers, Kim Battle

My condolences to the Battle family. My Brothers and Sisters. we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, So that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. ( RIP MOOKIE ) Woodrow Harper & Family
