Deacon Hawkins, Rochelle and family. I never liked cliches, but Heaven has indeed claimed one of the Lord’s jewels! I will always remember her in service in the Lord’s house – USHERING!

My prayers are with you all; God has His hand on you. Love, The Winslow Family
Our prayers go out to the Hawkins family. We pray that God will continue to strengthen you and your family. Know that Mother Hawkins was a lovely, sweet, and great Mother to a lot of young women in the church that knew her. We will continue to pray for your strength in the Lord. Mother Hawkins did not pick and choose; she loved us all. I will miss seeing her face whenever I come to RLM for visits.
Our prayers go out to Deacon Hawkins and the Hawkins family. Deacon Hawkins we pray that God strengthens you and showers you in His love during this difficult time! We thank God for the opportunity to meet this great woman of God. Mother Hawkins has transition from labor to reward and the torch has now been passed. So let us all take this mantle of the Gospel and continue to run this race we have been called to run!
Second Entry;
It is with heartfelt sympathy and prayers to Deacon Hawkins and family that I send my condolences. Rosa was a saintly woman of God who wore a garment of praise as a virtuous lady highly respected and loved by all. Several years ago, we worked in the World Trade Center in NY before the towers felled. We would meet at noon for prayer. Whenever she returned to NY for a visit at The Historic First Church, we always fellowshipped. She will be sorely missed, “Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal”.
I will always treasure the fond memories of Sister/Mother Rosa Hawkins, who was truly one of God’s rare jewels. She was a
woman of prayer. A woman of integrity. A woman who loved God and God’s people. A woman who could melt the hardest of hearts with just a smile and kind words. I know without a shadow of doubt she is in a better place, because she’s home with the Lord. But, that will not stop our hearts from missing her.
Thank you and know that I will continue to remember the Hawkins family in my prayers.
Mother Rosa Hawkins and her husband Deacon Hawkins were the founders of our Church’s couple ministry. They exemplified the quality of life as a couple for all of us to follow. We will never forget her.
Sending Our Thoughts And Prayers To The Family.
May God Be Your Comfort,In This Your Time Of Need.
