Yettie, I wish you had contacted Douglas and I during this diffiuclt time of your mother's passing. We knew what you were going through and would have been there for you. As God stands by our side that's how you stood by your mothers! Love, God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind. Luke 10: 27

Yvette: I am deeply shocked to learn of your mother's homegoing. Nonetheless, I know that she is okay now. I know the love that you gave her over the years from North Avenue to your present home helped sustain her for so long. Please know that I share your loss deeply. Mable and I shared so many days in Adult Education classes for RPS. We enjoyed our work. Please contact me. I would love to come visit with you and share old times with you from your North Avenue home with you. Be blessed with sustaining strength.
