Remembering Mrs. Fields

Hi, Everyone!

I’m still a little shocked behind the news of my beloved church member, Mrs. Harriette Fields. Forgive me for sounding selfish, but I kinda wish that The Lord would have waited just a little while longer before calling her home. She was one of the dearest, sweetest ladies that anyone could meet. She was always positive and upbeat, even when her husband passed away in 2003.

You know, I just realized that Mrs. Fields was darn near a carbon copy of my Gramma Jewel, with a couple of exceptions. For one thing, Mrs. Fields was a few inches taller, had fewer strands of grey in her hair, and she only wore glasses for reading. However, that sweet, inviting personality could not be missed.

I see that I have given a sneak preview of my eulogy to Mrs. Fields, but I want to be careful not to give too much of it away. I can tell you this, though: When you read it, you’ll know that I spent more than enough time with her while she was here.

And just in case you’re wondering, the photo of the yellow rose serves as a tribute to Mrs. Fields, seeing as how she loved yellow roses. When I write my eulogy on Saturday, I will be sure to include the picture that we had taken on Sunday, December 30, 2012—the last day that I got to see her.

I’ve actually been working on Mrs. Fields’ eulogy since Mom called and broke the news to me the other night. I know exactly what I want to say, but I’m just looking for the perfect introduction. Once I get it, my eulogy will be complete.

Well, I guess I had better close this blog and take a little breather before my Geometry & Trig class… and now that I think of it, I need to clear my mind anyway. I’ve got too many irons on the fire as it is—I’m finishing up the Valentine’s Day present for Ray, I’m studying for my upcoming finals, I’m writing this eulogy in memory of Mrs. Fields, and on top of that, my birthday is this weekend. So, yes—I do need to take a break.

Oh, before I forget: Mrs. Fields’ homegoing celebration will take place this Saturday, February 9, 2013 at my church. I would love to be there, if only for the weekend, so I can pay my respects, but due to various (and obvious) reasons, I cannot do that. I’ll just do the next best thing: In my Saturday blog, I will give my personal eulogy to the life and the times of a beautiful woman whom I will truly miss.

 

I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow. Peace Out!


Hugs & Kisses,
