QUEENIE AND THE PETUNIASWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
Continued from page 1
Queenie appeared right after Mama died, and I believe that was one of many ways God comforted us in our time of grief. When Shirley, my sister, and Joe saw date on cross, Joe said "Today, May 20 would have been my Daddy's birthday. He died in 1970." Shirley said, "Today, May 20, in 1986, was day Granny Winn (Mama's mama) died." Queenie's grave site will soon have beautiful flowers growing on it. I'm asking God to let them grow in memory of what Queenie meant to us. About same time Queenie showed up, I noticed some flowers blooming around my electricity pole. I took a closer look as I had not planted any flowers there, and it was unusual to see greenery in late January. In early February, they bloomed again. They were petunias, one of Mama's favorite flowers. Despite cold and frost, they continued to bloom. Now, over two years after Mama died, I have them growing everywhere. Mama planted many seeds in her lifetime. I believe that this was God's way of expressing His comfort to us over loss of Mama. It also showed and reflected beauty of her life.
