“To Serve This Present Age”

BLUE SKIES

God has not promised skies always blue,

Flowers-strewn pathways all our lives through;

God has not promised sun without rain,

Joy without sorrow, peace without pain,

But God has promised strength for the day,

Rest for the labor, light for the way,

Grace for the trials, help from above,

Unfailing sympathy, and undying love

Allow your faith to strengthen you

And the prayers of others to comfort you

Yasmin Omara Aladdin was born to Jamelah Ramadhan and Hassan

Aladdin on January 15, 1955 in Buffalo, New York. On March 15, 2019, at the age of

64, Yasmin passed suddenly. She was a graduate of East High School.

If you knew our mother, you know that family, friends, and God were the most

important things to her heart. She enjoyed cooking and would love to make these

huge meals for Sundays. Because of her loving nature, she could make friendships

with anyone from anywhere in the world and never judge them from their past.

One of our mother's greatest and proudest accomplishments is when she joined the

Erie County Sheriff Department. Not only did she love her job and coworkers, but

she loved being able to work with the inmates and talk with them to help them pos-

sibly change their lives. She worked dutifully until her retirement in 2016. All of her

life, she was always dedicated to helping others, even in her last days, she was

more concerned with us than herself. She will forever live in our hearts!!!

Yasmin is survived by her loving children, James Ward, Briana Drewitt, Richard

Barnwell, and Aisha Aladdin; two daughters-in-law, Shirley Barrios and Michelle

Bertram; grandchildren, Andre Ward, Justin Barrios, Jabrill Ward, Jamelah Ward,

Ahmad Ramadhan, and James Kenneth Ward; one niece, Juetaun Drewitt; extended

family, Leonard and Jackie Robbins, Manuel Ortiz, Julian Wilson, Laurie Ferraro,

Stephan Barr, Patrice Cathey, and Anuradha Seshadri; and a host of other loving

family, friends, and coworkers.

THE ONE WHOM I SERVE

Your kindness, I can never define. For even when my

friends and family left me behind, for the transgressions

of which I was guilty, extending no understanding of

my human weakness or remembering theirs. You were

there to hold me and tell me that you not only under-

stood, but you knew that I would do everything that I

did and there are still things that are yet to be done.

Things put in my path by you to obtain the growth of

my spirit, to realize that you and I are one and I am in

fact the likeness of you. So, the many blessings that I’ve

received and will continue to receive, I may not de-

serve, but they are given for my efforts by the one

whom I serve.
