I always looked forward to seeing both Brother and Sister Lambert. They were part of my life at Victory Tabernacle. I am sorry for your loss. Prayers for the Lambert Family.
Rest in peace Mrs. Lambert, you were a beautiful person inside and out. The love you had for your family was great and you will be missed. I may have only met you a few times but growing up with your daughter Destiny,I could feel how much she loved you and your husband and how much you loved them!
Twinkling stars, so far above,
A piece of her, a sign of love.
Her spirit lives on, in every star,
A bond that’s eternal, near and far.
You shared so many laughs and tears,
Through all the seasons, and all the years.
She’s now a star, shining so bright,
A beacon of hope, a guiding light.
You’ll see her light, it guides you through,
Stay remembering her, forever true.
Written with love
