Plan Ahead

Abrahms, Chaquitah

July 27, 1944 –
 January 19, 2014

Obituary

Chaquitah Olitha Mary Abrahms, age 69 of McKinney, Texas passed away on January 19, 2014. Born to the late Marguerite and Winroe Abrahms on July 27, 1944 in New Orleans, LA, Chaquitah graduated from college having completed her studies in nursing and secretarial work. She worked for Sewerage and Water Board for thirteen years when she retired. Chaquitah Abrahms is survived by two brothers, Adams Abrahms and Kent Abrahms, two children, Mailan Ordone and Quinn Ordone, nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by one son.   Chaquitah was a active and vibrant woman with a kind, caring heart. Services will be held in New Orleans, LA at a later date.    

God Took Her To His Loving Home God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be. He wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered, “Come with me.” She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend. She faced her pain with courage until the very end. She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain, God took her to His loving home and freed her from the pain.

  Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    I am at a loss for words to express my sadness for the loss of my mother. I know heaven just received one of the most special angels. I have learned life-long lessons through my mom’s kindness and in her memory, I will walk through life with a bigger heart. Life is short and hers was short lived. I will always carry her in my heart.

    For most of us, it was our mother who taught us to pray. We can help repay her for that gift of faith by praying for the repose of my mother’s soul.

    O God, who hast commanded us to honor our father and our mother; in Thy mercy have pity on the soul of my mother, and forgive her her trespasses; and make me to see her again in the joy of everlasting brightness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

    Chaquita was charming, pleasant, and cheerful. It was a delight to work with her. She made us laugh and we respected her wisdom. She left us too early.

    You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. Be gratiful and cherish the time you spent with her, the good the bad and the fun you shared with her.
    The Love, the care, and the attention you showed your mother is priceless.
    Mailan, you gave Chaquitha her roses while she could still smell them. Your loving care for your mother has not gone unnotice, your Father in Heaven has seen them and will reward you.
    Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning. Ps.30:5
    May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, keep you through Christ Jesus. Phil.4:7

    Chaquitah was both my mother’s cousin (Maxine Bell Davis) and also to my father (Herman John Davis.) I am so sorry for your loss. Dad is there in to greet here along with all other family and having a good time sharing memories. Be happy for the time we shared with our loved ones here on earth and now she is in the hands of Our Lord and Savior. Maxine is doing well as I visit with her as much as I can as long as she stays with us to enjoy. She and Nelvolia share a room together here in California. Our prayers will always be with you as you are now at peace. God bless you all.

    Should I be feeling guilty, was there something I didn’t do?
    Did I not do enough to show all the love I had inside for you?
    If you could say three words to me, would they be the ones I’d want to hear?
    When I knock on heavens door for you will you push me away or hold me near?
    There’s a million questions that I have inside,
    And a million more that keep coming to mind,
    Like where are you now and are you free from all your pain?
    If someone asked you about me would you even remember my name?

    I hope I’ve never left you disappointed or ever let you down,
    That all you’ve done is smile for me and upon me you’ve never frowned,
    I want you to be proud of me, in the many years how far I’ve come,
    From the smallest to the biggest things that I have ever done.
    Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again.
    Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them.
    Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them.
    I have been silently crying inside until I’m numb.
    Please forgive me for my day will soon come.
    Rest in Peace

    Mom it has been extremely hard being here without you. I wish my pain would just go away. I wish everyday to see your smiling face, but know you won’t be there. I try to believe you are in a better place and not be selfish to want you here. I love you so much and I hope you are in heaven with your wings flying and soaring high and laughing with all the joy in your heart that you deserve. I love you Mom.

    Everyday and every minute you are truly missed. I love you so much. The pain just seems to exist and never go away. But I know you are no longer hurting and I just wanted to be selfish and keep you here as long as I could because I never wanted you to leave. I know you are in heaven in peace and I just want you to know that I am trying to be all that you taught me to be, a good mother and person to all I come in contact with. Thanks MOM

I wish you were here to help with all that is going on this holiday season. I try to do what I can to make things festive. You will never know how much you are missed, but I ask God to always watch over you and keep your soul at rest. Please tell Grandma, Ernest and Uncle Kent that we miss them also and to be at peace. I love all of you and miss you.

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
