Your Comments: I just read on the site about Mrs. Goodman and it really upset me. Mrs. Goodman and my mom were in the same nursing home at one time and Mrs. Goodman came in and prayed for my mom and they had a good visit. I ran into Sammie and Denise and it was like a Altgeld reunion. I was wondering about how she was doing and now I know she has gone on to be with the Lord. I guess what I am saying is if you have information on someone's passing put it out there on the website. Don't wait for Loisteen to do it. We all can post information. My condolences to the Goodman & Harris family from the Evans family. Also Margo, it is good to hear from you and know that God is still in the healing business. Because of Christ, Minister Andrea Evans

Your Comments: Hey Big Bro Ray Jay, the planning or shall I say ideas are looking better and better...I'm excited from the thought of this whole thing coming together. I'll be praying that it all works out. Meanwhile, hello Tanky. I remember you and your entire family. Not sure if you remember me which would be understandable, you were very young when I left the blk. However, it's good to see you have found our neighborhood connection "hot spot". Where is your cousin Stephanie? I would love to hear from her and I think her sis name is Stella...I sort of remember another sis much younger but not completely sure. Oh well, as mentioned, it's good to see that you've checked in to the site and seem to be doing well. Be good & many blessings! Dondon (formerly of blk #3)

Your Comments: Dear fellow AGER's, I got this info late tonight. Bernard Fleming class of 1970 and former resident of blk. 15 passed and his services are being held at Progressive MB church on Friday, March 3 at 11:00. I don't know if this is the time of the wake or the funeral. Bernard was the son of Esther Wheeler and his siblings that I remember were Delores Wheeler and Regina Fleming. Bernard was also the husband of Alicia Hibbler and used to play the trumpet for R&B singer Tyrone Davis back in the day, and he could really blow that horn. This is all the info that I have. You may send your condolences via the website to the family. The Evans family sends their condolences to the Fleming-Wheeler family and know that earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal. If anyone knows where to send condolences, please post it. God Bless You.

Topic: I will bless the Lord at all times!
Your Comments: Hello AG family, Praise the Lord for ever and ever! I do remember Martin Luther King visiting the Gardens, I was up top too when he did his speech.The flyers were for the march in Washinton D.C.My mom took us to the march, we road the big buses from the Gardens and came back the same night. That was an historical moment. I also remember Mrs. Hodges, her favorite phase was "with ya trashy self". She was crazy funny! I pray all is well as can be with her in her illness. Thank you Gloria for the 411 on her.Hey Genael I spoke with Elmos about 14 days ago around the time his wife Jackie was called home to be with the Lord, this time last year. My how time flies. He is trying to do the best he can with what he got left to work with! Bless you all, Queen Vet

Your Comments: My mom and Mrs Hodges had attended the same church a few years ago. Since then Mrs Hodges has relocated somewhere in Tennesse. My mom informed me she is suffering from Alzheimers. Please let's keep her in our prayers. If you don't remember her, she was the English teacher at Carver.

Topic: Dr. Martin Luther King Came to the Gardens
Your Comments: I hit the button too fast, sorry. Who remembers when Dr. King came to the gardens. I will never for get that day, my parents sent me and Robette Pagan to Al's Certified and they were setting up the bleaches and Dr. King was passing out fliers and shaking hands. He shook my hand and I just looked at it and ran all the way back on and told my mother and father. I believe if I had not said Martin Luther King, I probably would have got a whipping because I never went in the store. (smile) I remember my parents and everybody in our block walking up there together. We were a DEEP community. It feels good to know you come from a place and time that really cared about everybody. Got to go, as always, Keep GOD First in your life. LOL Pat

Topic: Coretta Scott King - 1927 - 2006 - ATL
Your Comments: The passing of Coretta Scott King is all over the world by now. Dr. Martin Luther King's widow has now been joined again with him. There are no words to express what is felt in the hearts of many in this time, place and history but I find that the same words of comfort, peace and heartfelt sorrow are felt by all. We must remember that we are all here on LOAN, this place is not our home. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire KING, SCOTT and FARRIS Family. I will visit the KING Center Memorial this evening. As always, keep GOD first in your life. LOL Pat

Your Comments: Thanks for the 411 on Sharon's homegoing, I heard it was very well represented. I'm glad you got to see little miss Jenae too. She has grown so! LOL! I understand Squali's was great too! That's why it is important that we try to see each other as often as we can because we never know the day or the hour when we will be called HOME to be with the Lord. Until we meet again, God's peace, love and grace, ~ Queen Vet
