Rosa,Princella,Roger and Family,
I have been and will remain in constant prayer for this, our, and your family during these trying times.
I cannot forget the numerous times Aunt Lorene and Uncle Buck would visit w/ Cynthia and Princella intact or Mother and Daddy would visit them w/ me and Phyllis intact and those visits formed a bond between Cynthia,Princella,Phyllis, and myself.
Through the years as we grew older and went our seperate ways life experiences and distance lead us down different avenues but those fond memories are more meaningful now than ever before and the bond remains intact.
I extend my heartfelt sympathy and will never stop praying for my family.

To the Brooks and Harris and extended family members:
On behalf of the Burruss and Jackson families we want to extend our deepest sympathies and prayers to each of you. God is so faithful and He always knows what's best. Know that He has her in His arms right now and He also has you too. There is no sorrow or grief too difficult that He cannot help you to bear. All will be better in time. God loves you all and we love you too. She will be missed but never absent from our memories. We had fun sharing childhood and school memories, laughing about old times. The Class of 1981 will miss her too.

So very sorry to learn of Mrs. Brooks passing.
I met her when I worked with her Niece in Head Start and saw her again when I worked at CSES in Mechanicsville.
She was a lovely person. A genuine smile and a heart of gold.
My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you.
Cherish the good times you shared with her.
God be with you today, tomorrow and always.
Sincerely,
Jean Winston (Holloway)

Rogers, and family, please know that my prayers are with you. It is very hard to lose love ones but know that God don't make mistakes and He loves us best. Stay strong and keep your affections on heavenly things and Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding and He will direct our steps. I don't remember much when my Mother passed but I do remember seeing Cynthia at Mama's (Elnora Winston)house and she was so happy and I'm glad I remember her that way. I will certainly miss her.
Love you all,
Jean Winston Holloway
