Mrs. Maria “Dee” Henry

Poem: God’s Garden God looked around his garden And found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, ‘Peace bethine’. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

To My Beautiful Wife I’m so grateful to have someone so loving, caring, considerate and supportive for 30 years. Words can’t describe how much you mean to me and how much I appreciate you for everything you have done for me. I will miss you dearly and my love will always be with you and yours with me. Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life, and you will dwell in the House of the Lord forever. Amen, Rest in Peace my Empress

Words can’t describe how much You meant to Us All. You showed us how to Love one another unconditionally and how to have a relationship with the most merciful. We still feel your presence all around Us my Empress & promise✌continue to take care of each other until We also dwell in the house of the Lord for ever and ever Amen

To my queen its so sad that you’re are not here with us no more and I’m finding it really hard to accept that you aren’t here with all of us. But in Spirit you remain covering us with your love and guidance each day. Thank you Ma for everything you done for me and everyone. from your wash belly Rohan

We are so blessed to have had YOU as our Mummy Queen. I will hold on to the many beautiful & special memories we had, all the laughs and joyful moments together and know your love and spirit is going to be with us always… until we meet again Mummy. Lots of Love, your Ebby ❤️

My aunty was more than an aunty to me. When my mother died she scooped me up, loved me, protected me and brought me back to life again. Her strength, her loving and her sheer determination in life is something I will never forget. I am so blessed to have had her in my life and I am so blessed to have known her. There will never be a woman like her ❤️

Memories don’t live like people do, they always stay with you, whether good or bad it’s something that I had with my beloved sis Dee! My earliest memory was the time myself Zela,Dee,Rohan when to the University of Sussex to witness her daughter Ebony perform in a concert at the University she attended. From early Dee was ready and very much filled with joy on that day, her son Charles was to take them but he had to work that evening so I was given the opportunity to take them to the concert. Sis had an enjoyable time she met with her daughter’s teachers and classmates, she was given full VIP treatment from the University, I was delighted to have taken them,Ebony was happy to see her brother and dad present/!!!\

My lovely nanna, you are a majestic being that loved me in such a soft and amazing way. I will always remember the love, scripture and many blessings you have bathed me in to help me grow beautifully.  You are pure gold nanna, We were truly blessed to have had you in our lives. I will continue to embark on the path of righteousness and enlightenment with the numerous lessons you have taught us (psalm 91:1-2). Your grandson CarCar❤️

You was the Matriarch of the family, you had so much love to give, and you gave it in abundance! I miss you so much already, the sound of your voice, your laugh, you saying ‘yeah my girl’! I feel honoured to have had you as a mother in law, and blessed to have experienced your love, guidance, patience and good food!! May your beautiful soul be resting in eternal peace. Love and Miss you x RIP Mum x

To my dearest Auntie, Three words to describe you: inspiring, strong and extraordinary. Auntie, I want to thank you for all the times, laughter and happiness we shared together. Thank you for always being there and motivating me from the highest of my highs to the lowest of my lows. I’ve always considered you as a second mother to me from when we had those little chats in the morning before I went into school to when I would come over and have our girl talk. Words alone cannot describe the love I have for you as you have truly been a blessing onto my life and I know that you will continue to guide and protect everyone from Heaven above❤️

To Mum i miss you so much and words can’t describe how I feel today or how ima feel in the future, but Ima do my best no matter what. love you forever Mummy Queen . Ro

Dee My Sister and my friend Dee, it has taken me a while to come to terms with you not being around, to us not chatting in the mornings and exchanging early mornings WhatsApp greetings. My memories of Dee is only love and understanding. My Sis showed me love at every corner and every turn. She protected me like I was her blood sister and I hoped that I did the same for her. We prayed together, laughed together, discussed politics and world events together. Dee was a doctor, lawyer, advisor, pastor, preacher, prayer warrior to all and she is irreplaceable in our lives. Will always love and miss you my sister and my friend. Margaret

I am glad I got to know a special person like you. As a teenager I remember you were always there for me giving me the best advice. You were like a big sister back then, I will always remember my time with you. You are not gone to me you are still here with me in my heart. I know the lord will keep you until we meet again. Love you D  Carol

MUM these are the hardest words I’ve ever had to write and always prayed I never would. You was our superwoman and would live forever but the Almighty wanted to meet the woman who brought so much love, joy and laughter into so many lives. I miss you mum.

Aunty Dee, thank you for all your comforting words and Godly guidance. I will miss our chats and receiving your WhatsApp voicenotes but grateful that your voice will always be there for me to playback and listen to. I always said that you should have your own motivational podcast because of your passion to share words of wisdom and knowledge to help others. I admire your strength. You fought until the end and now may you rest in perfect peace. Your physical body may be gone but your spirit will still live on, amongst us all. Lots of love, until we meet again xxx ❤

I’ve known you forever but these four years that we all shared together meant so much more, our time was so so short but soooooo amazing. Thank you for teaching me patience and that everyone deserves love. Thank you for openings my eyes to just the small things, from sending your daily prayers to me, (even tho you know I struggle with that sometimes) a morning never failed where I didn’t get your vn’s or you laughing at vids that I sent to you of Shi’Rye lol. I’m just so thankful and GRATEFUL to have had met a superwoman like you! I always said I wanna be like you when I’m older, because if I’m courageous and strong like you, I can take on the world, and you taught me that first hand. Thank you for raising 4 amazing children and giving them the tools to love another with no limit. I only wish you was here just to talk to me about anything I was dealing with.

My Queen… Had a really good boxing session today and remembered you’re the one I would always call everyday even multiple times a day to share details / experiences even the boring or annoying ones about boys & work, we could just talk about everything and anything and you loveee the TEA haha you would always listen and have the best advice… oh how I loved reasoning with you, you’re so woke, intelligent and wise!!! We could go on for hourssss! Missing my twin, best friend, counselor, comforter, confidant and first true love❤️ Just the simple things like the way we would lay down together watching all our shows you would record for me until I come home you say “Ebby I’ve got so much for us to watch” and I happily jump in the hammock you made on the bed with our cups of tea in hand ready for the marathon of The Chase, Tipping Point, Tales of the Unexpected, MasterChef, Real Crimeee oh my, the list goes on haha! I love how I would sneakily put on Eastenders and as the music starts just look at you because your reaction of distaste for it was hilarious but you always give me a likkle bligh ! You preferred the Classic Eastenders from back in the dayyyy and I loved watching it with you too. You would always give me extra pillows as well so I can be comfortable even though I was already good and felt blessed just being in your presence and being home with the family. That’s you always thinking of others and the beautiful thing about you is that your loving sincere energy match your actions consistently. No fake or phony tings round here you taught us to always be true to oneself! I never forget when we went to the Hilton in Park Lane during our early spacation days because we been about that life and we were in the relaxation room and a couple of ignorant Caucasian folks came in kinda giving us them looks like don’t we belong here. I just ignored them but then all of sudden I hear you proclaim at the top of your voice “YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN” then we just burst out laughing and they just left us to have the room all to ourselves! Until this day I crack up because I’m like so proud that’s my Mummy! So assertive, fierce, always standing up for your rights and what is right as a proud black woman and never afraid to put anyone in their place! You’re a soldier, warrior and yet so elegant and an ambassador of integrity and love… all the things I can only pray and strive towards becoming. I remember when you would feed the homeless in Jamaica without being asked you would buy food and hand out to them in Linstead, something I wouldn’t even think to do and that’s why to me you’re just a cut above the rest, just a different breed in so many ways and you always remained so humble! I’m so glad I got to surprise you for Easter, and have it recorded thanks to Rosh sneaking me in the house haha! Only God knew that would be the last time we would be together having such special moments. I left the UK, 20th April… Imagine that just one month before the Lord called you home! What a beautiful memory just walking in your room with Rosh totally unexpected with a cup of your favorite tea in hand and hearing that scream of joy “my baby is home”!! How I long to hear your voice. Nothing like it. I wait patiently and anxiously until the day I get to see you again my extraordinary Queen and feel your embrace but until then… I know my heart is with you, yours with me and Jehovah God has you right where He wants you to be, doing the one thing you just never knew how to do when you were here and that is… REST… PEACEFULLY❤️❤️❤️ Love & Adore you to the mooooon and back a million times over! Your Likkle Princess will honour, cherish and big you upppp forever for the LEGEND that you are and always will be! #bestmummyever #herlegacycontinues

I miss you Mummy️ my Queen… my everything❤️
