Anderson Chapel Missionary Baptist Church
Remembering Dr. Maya Angelou in thought and prayer. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
As we pause to thank God for the wonderful life, legacy and longevity of Dr. Maya Angelou, let us not forget that tender promise of Christ when He said, “For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” – II Timothy 4:6-7 (King James Version).
Sleep on Dr. Angelou and take your rest, we love you but God loved you best.
Pamela Harrison Collins
Thank you for sharing your life and your wisdom with the world. May you rest in peace.
Dr. Thomas L. Walker, Rocky Mount, NC
“Her Journey has just begun.”
As we travel this journey we know as life, we have learned our time here on earth is like a vapor compared to our eternal destination called “heaven.”
We know we will see Dr. Maya Angelou again. We will see her in a glorified body in which pain is not known.
We will be greeted by Jesus and hear those wonderful words stated by our Lord and
Savior…”Well done thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things; I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” – St. Matthew 25:21 (King James Version).

Dr. Maya Angelou: Her voice. Her presence. Her words. She shared it all and made us better because of it and because of her.

No words can express our loss, but your words, wisdom and contributions to society will be forever. Thank you for all that you have done to lift humanity. You will forever be cherished by those who have loved you. Deepest sympathy to your family but I will celebrate you always.
Veronica Jones
When I grow up, I want to learn and live as much as you did. My favorite quote is,
… When you learn, Teach
… When you get, Give
Rest in the arms of God now. Peace be with you. Well done!! Well Done!!

In Remembrance of Dr. Maya Angelou
(1928 – 2014)
“I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS”,
because we had her during
“A PLAGUED JOURNEY”,
who told
“A BRAVE AND STARTLING TRUTH”,
about a
“KIN”
who left her alone, making her have
“A CONCEIT”
for
“MEN”
and allowing a
“MILLION MAN MARCH”,
“ON THE PULSE OF MORNING”,
She is not
“ALONE”,
from the
“CALIFORNIA PRODIGAL”,
and the
“MOMMA WELFARE ROLL”,
she has spoken to all of us and taught us what
“PASSING TIME”
is really all about.
We Love and Salute you Dr. Angelou
The one who has taught us how to Love, Respect, Live and Honor one another.
“WE HAD YOU”
and you will be greatly missed.
GOD has you now
and what an Abyss of Authenticity he allowed us for such a short period of time.
Let us have A Moment of Silence as she accepts her Crown.

At your last book signing at Barnes and Noble Union Sq NYC location I once again went up to have my book signed. When I gave my name you asked me to repeat it and you immediately said “Are you still writing?” Now this conversation was sometime back at a former book signing for another book – but you remembered. I was so touched and speechless because I was going on about how I was blocked and how I first met you at The National Black Theatre in Harlem when “Caged Birds” first came out everything I probably had uttered a thousand times before. But you remembered me. I am in tears right now at work. You said to try and write something anything everyday. I will always remember that day. Thank you again and again. May God Bless and keep you in his care. Peju

My condolences to the family of Dr. Maya Angelou. May God give you peace in your time of sorrow. Dr. Angelou shared her wisdom and inspired many on her journey through life. She lives on in our hearts and in her words. A true Angel!

Dr. Angelou.
Thank you.
Fair winds, calm seas on your journey.
Sandra L. Ross
Condolences to Dr. Angelou’s family on her passing. I met her in 1992 in Tampa, Florida, where she spoke at the University of South Florida inspiring all of us there. She was such a giant who was human, real and inspirational. God bless her.

Family & Friends of Dr. Maya Angelou: your loss is truly felt & I pray for peace and comfort for you.
Although I never met this phenomenal woman, she truly impacted my life. I read ‘I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings’ in my early teen years (shortly after the 1969 publishing), I saw the movie as well. It pierced my heart, soul and spirit! I followed many things she wrote. However her writing ‘I Rise’, bought me to my realization that no matter what ever happened to me in my life, those circumstances never defined who I was! I thank GOD for bringing this astounding woman to the forefront! She has been a true blessing, at least to me, if no one else. I cried only at one other celebrity death! I cried when she passed! I cried for her wisdom will not produce new wisdom! Yes I know it was selfish on my part, however, many times when I was down, her words were my lifeline to get back up!
May her wisdom live on, her spirit rest in peace.
Judith Lezama Charles
Our first encounter with Dr Angelou was in 1995. She was ever present at an event simply called Maya Angelou and Friends, in a city and amongst people who had barely heard of her, yet alone seen her. The event started at 10:35pm and my then teenaged daughter and I were captivated by the presence of this statuesque woman who swayed, sang and delivered in style, never missing a beat. Dr Angelou journeyed to Toronto on numerous occasions since then, and without a doubt,the experience each time was joyous and unique. Rest in eternal peace, Dr Angelou, our ancestors await you. You have earned your sleep. Thank you.
Paul Miller
My sincere condolences to Dr. Angelou family and friends. You will truly be missed. The angels are standing tall with you in their presence.
Lisette Brooks
As a teenager in high school, I remember reading the words and poems of Dr. Maya Angelou introduced to me by my 10th grade English teacher. Dr. Angelou had such profound grace and wisdom, I became mesmerized by the sheer sound of her voice because I always knew that with every word she spoke there was something to learn from her speaking. She inspired me so much that I pursued and completed a bachelor’s degree in communications so that I too, one day, can lift someone up with words just how Dr. Angelou’s words have lifted me. Dr. Angelou you were TRULY a Phenomenal Woman!! Rest in Paradise!!
