@NotoriousNYNJ ..Well I have experienced it and although it's hard I make it based on the strength I get from God...I lost my son suddenly 2yrs ago 10 days before his birthday which is christmas day... I miss him dearly...but as they say....life must go on...All we can do is love our children and protect them the best we know how.
God Bless you Mom. An apple does not fall far from the tree. MaLinda was from you and you raised her well. May God give you the strength to carry on so that you can help care and nurture for those beautiful children. May God comfort you. Amen.
....a Pastor & they always discuss "what's next" in the service....even in funerals. In case u never planned a funeral; cemeteries set appointments & u need to be there at that scheduled time! So somebody has to keep track of time! Maybe it's bcus I grew up in church & my Dad is a pastor..I understand the way it works. I'm sure it wasn't a sign of disrespect to his wife, her memory or his mother in law. I don't understand how these minor things hurt ur life??!
"speaking from the heart" doesn't have to be free-styling on the spot. If u aren't a public speaker, articulate or fluent in speech it's best to WRITE from the heart & read it. Maybe she read through it a few times..who cares. It's her daughter's funeral!
As for Pastor Sapp looking at his watch that was probably out of habit. It looked very generic. It could have been nervous energy. Also he asked 1 of the kids "you ok?!"....when he walked away to "talk to someone"....keep in mind he is still
What a hard thing to do, to get up and speak when your heart is broken at the loss of your child, and some people want to criticize, God have mercy on you, that you are never in the position to have to do what this lady had to do.
not everyone can speak with a natural flow, i know i can't. so good for her writing down her thoughts and expressing how she felt about her daughter. and when you write down things, you dont have to worry about forgetting what you want to say. and further more, focus on what she is saying and not on how she is saying it
Im sorry but I just lost repsect for marvin sapp now after seeing how he was looking at his watch and talking and really not showing her mother respect at all just mad me angry she came from that women
Come on guys. This lady lost her daughter. If you have not walked in her shoes you have no right to point fingers or analyze her. Thank God she was able to be present says a lot. When my youngest brother went home to Heaven, it took every essence of my mom's being just to be present. Even before his service, my mom had to be hospitalized. So please embrace her and her family and more than anything, pray for her. This is the hardest thing any parent can go thru. Now go kiss your kid(s).
@mistaflyof95 I am about to do a presentation for my sister who died in 2004, and yes. I'm going to put what I want to say on paper because I don't want to ramble and I don't want to get off track and there are certain things I want to say that I don't want to forget. As a minister I know what happens when you're in that situation and it's easy to say everything but what you want to say. That's why it's on paper.
@evangelistL i guess my point is also that it didn't even seem genuine, it just seemed like she just read it and then left...AND if u wanna use a paper, that's fine, but wouldn't you at least read the paper over and over so your not stuttering on the day of?
@mistaflyof95 I agree with but I let's not judge her too harshly, she just lost her daughter and that may just be the mom's personality. My mom is not overly emotional so she may seem not to besometimes. As far as Marvin, give him a break. He just lost his wife. Geesh.
@evangelist i agree with you, cause the day of my aunt funeral i could not cry. i had so much emotions going, but when i got home i cried like a baby. plus they knew she was dying.
@tonetteish same here with my dad......i cried before he died, he had lymphoma, so we basically watched him get thinner and thinner every day.....that was harder than the actual funeral....i didnt cry once at the funeral. but after the funeral, little things that reminded me of him made me cry, like when the car wouldnt start or when my moms bday came up cuz he would always send me to get her gifts......
@mistaflyof95 IT IS CALLED GRIEF....WHEN MY MOM READ MY GRANDAD'S EULOGY, SHE WHO IS SO FLUENT, WELL SPOKEN AND BRILLIANT STUTTERED AND BAWLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUNERAL...SO WHEN YOU GET TO THAT PLACE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!! PLUS IT MAY BE THAT HER MOM WAS NOT NEARLY AS EDUCATED AS SHE WAS....THINK ON THESE THINGS!!
@mistaflyof95 She isn't you n u r not her. n how can u know what you will never do unless you r cloned. you people r just sickening, judgmental, n very hypocritical.....Everyone of you should be on your knees repenting. How in the Sam Hill can u speak derogatorily....I know how no of you all have a pure heart.
@DPR3211 oh noooo, not so , i am pretty sure his actions and thoughts was not even close to what u are thinkng. he couldn't have been in a hurry the funeral lasted ( and rightly deserving for awesome woman) almost 3 hours. Great and awesome homegoing , u know what I'm saying. :)
@DPR3211 wondered about this too...and talking to someone while Malinda's mom was talking..i guess grief can make you really mechanical too as I'm sure Marvin had to do a lot of planning for her homegoing..But I can't lie, i did find that a little troubling.
God bless and watch over the Sapp family in their time of sorrow. Dr. MaLinda Sapp was truly annointed and will be missed but to see the outpouring of love and support from the congregation is amazing. I believe that she is in heaven smiling and overwhelmed and praising God for giving her family peace of mind
@lilyofthevalley7 Yeah I focused on him too! Poor babies I was 35 years old when my mother passed away and I know these babies are very hurt! They didn't get much time with her!
Only until you lose a child will you know that pain. It has nothing to do with being humbled and crying doesn't mean you are not humbled. You just have faith and save your tears for later to get the message across. I send my prayers up for them.

May The Good Lord always guide the Sapp Family and watch over her children always. God has her now and Till we meet again, He'll watch over her children. Keep the faith and our sympathy is with the family always, God Bless, from The Ralat family in Homestead, Fl.
iT IS SO AMAZING HOW SHE REMAINED HUMBLED AND DIDNY CRY. I DONT HAVE ANY KIDS BUT i KNOW THAT HAVE TO HURT TO SEE A CHILD GO BEFORE YOU. BUT gOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING. SOMETIMES WE MAY NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BUT HE IS GOD. AMEN!!
Wow!!! What a day yesterday!! Lady MaLinda will be greatly missed and remembered. I've talked and met with her several times, I'll never forget so many qualities of her... Wow!!
this is so sad that this person left us on someones birthday?
