Randall, I was deeply saddened when I learned of your Grandmother’s passing. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel for you at this time. Please know that I am here to support you in any way and that you and your family remain in my prayers and thoughts.

I will always see her working with flowers whenever I look across the street. She seemed to enjoy working in your yard so much. I believe some of that joy was just doing something loving for her family.
I know you will miss her but you have wonderful memories
right there at your front door.
may God bless and keep you

To The Gibson Family:

I am sorry to hear of your lost. You will always have the memories to remind you of good and bad times.I will remember Ms. Sallie complaining about the black shorts I use to wair. She use to tell us to keep the noise down she had to sleep.

Nothing on this earth can ever take the place of "Mother". May God Bless You All.

Veronica and Family:

My heart was sadden to hear of Ms. Sallie's passing. Our family is your family and we are here for all of you and praying that God will strengthen, comfort and give you peace and understanding. I will remember Ms. Sallie's kindness and friendly smile and her love for flowers/gardening. I still wear the Tee shirt Ms. Sallie brought me 16yrs ago when I lost the twins. I leave you with the verse that is printed on the shirt.

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our GOD stands forever". Isaiah 40:8.

Your mother is @ peace in heaven with GOD planting her beautiful flowers and nourshing her garden.

Love, Theresita (Terri) Pleasants-Lewis
