Blossie was a part of our family from the time I was a child. She always cared about us, and looked after us. Before my mother passed away in 1988, Blossie promised her she would keep on eye on us, to check in & see how we were doing. She kept her promise. Blossie sat at the main family table at my wedding.. I realize now that she was filling in the "Mom" seat. I loved Blossie as a family member. To her family: Blossie was a peach! Cherish her memory.

Bloss,
May God take your hand in His and keep u safe. Tell my mom "hello" for me. To the fam, u know we got much love for u all. Stay strong and keep the faith. I'm not gonna say it gets easier because I have yet to feel it (its only been 4 months). I can only say that these occasions should make all families more powerful and stronger than ever
because MOM is the knot that holds us together and once that's untied things seem to unravel. Its up to us not to let that happen. So pull together and hold on cause the ride ain't over yet....May GOD bless and keep u safe....Charles, u know Wallace & I are always in your corner We love U.......always

Blossie Mae was truly an inspirational figure in my life and was just a good, old-fashioned good woman. I tried calling her several times, but to no avail. I will always regret that (not being able to contact her). My memories of her will always be strong as she always was. My thoughts go out to her family.
