To Angela, Genie and Wayne: I am very deeply saddened to learn of your mother's passing. I remember the great times we had playing sports behind the school when we were growing up in the West End and your mom would always have something cold for us to drink in the back yard. I'll never forget what a nice lady she was. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless you and keep you during your period of bereavement.

Hello My Dears,
I can relate what you're going through just losing my Mom last week. Even though you're going to miss her much, it is a blessing to know that she's left for a much better place.
As you know, she and I had a special relationship. I always went to visit when I was in town. I will miss her too. She was such a sweet lady and we used to share long conversations on the phone and lots of laughter.
What hurts me is in just seeing you, Eugene, at Mom's wake, I was looking forward to calling you to get a number to call her and surprise her, but I understand, she past before I left Richmond.
As I told Eugene, Angela and Wayne I love you guys dearly and will be in contact with you soon.

Love,
Pinky

Hello Family,
When I think of your mom, my aunt, I can't help but to remember her pleasant smile, and her warm heart. I always thought that she had the prettiest eyes ever. I remember as a child when I would stay over, how she would always make me feel so welcome. All I have are warm memories of her. She will be greatly missed. You all have my deepest sympathy at heart.

Angela, Wayne and Eugene,

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families during this very sad time. I have wonderful memories of Aunt Jean and Uncle Dickey and how they opened their hearts and house to Lisa, Sonia and I when we moved back to the states from Japan. They both hold a very special place in my heart.

We love you and will continue to pray for you and your families.

Love, Toni, Tracy and Trae
