Dear Mom in Heaven

I sit here and ponder how very much


Id like to talk with you today
There are so many things
That we didnt get to say.
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you
And each time that I think of you, I know youll miss me too.
An angel came and took you by the hand and said
Your place is ready in Heaven far above.
And you had to leave behind
All those you dearly loved.
You had so much to live for;
You had so much to do.
It still seems impossible that God has taken you.
And though your life on earth is past,
In Heaven it starts anew.
Youll live for all eternity,
Just as God has promised you.
And though youve walked through Heavens gate
We are never far apart,
For every time I think of you
Youre right here, deep within my heart.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card,


Or sat quietly in a chair.
Perhaps you sent a floral piece, If so, we saw it there;
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day,
Whatever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.

Denise Darcell Reed


Denise Darcell Reed was born January 16, 1954. She was the
youngest daughter of Mattie Mae Mobley-Thompson and Alfonso
Gilette of Cincinnati, Ohio. She was preceded in death by her mother, Mattie Mae Mobley Thompson; father, Alfonso Gilette; brothers,
Maynard Count Reed, and Alfonso Edgar Gilette Jr; sisters,
Sakinah Betty Jean Reed, and Sharon Reed; Aunt Idelia Dee Dee
Yarborough and niece Michelle Reed.
Denise was a devout Catholic who was raised in the West End in the
Lincoln Courts. She attended St. Joseph Catholic School and graduated from Seton High School. She also attended the University of
Cincinnati and graduated from the Athenaeum of Cincinnati in the
A.M.E.N. Lay Pastoral Ministry Program. During her life she worked
for the City of Cincinnatis Recreation Commission and she also
worked for Preserving Affordable Housing as an administrative assistant.
She was active in many activities and hobbies but her passion was
making herself available to do Gods work. She taught Sunday
School at St. Joseph Catholic Church for many, many years and
volunteered her time and heart to various committees within the
church.
The Lord called Denise home on June 11, 2015, while she was at
home, and she answered His call. She leaves us all, for this is a journey that we must all take, and each must go alone. Its all part of
the Masters plan, a step on the road to home.
She leaves to cherish her memory two children, Seneca Reed and
Talibra Reed; five grandchildren, Briyana Turnagem, Seneca D.
Reed, Annysa Reed, Eriyanna Redden and Selana Reed; four nephews, Keith Goosby, Darren Goosby, Demont Goosby and Stanley
Dixon, Jr. and a host of other loving family and friends.
