John and I will be forever grateful to Maud for accepting our son into their home even before Mary and he became husband and wife. Her Christian testimony and love has had a great impact on our whole family.

Maude was a very special woman. I have know her for sixteen years from North Atlanta Bible Chapel. In that short time, I have enjoyed her wit. She was willing to lend a helping hand when I was looking for a job even though she was going through a lot in her life at the time. She will truly be missed. I'm thankful that she does not have to suffer anymore and that she is with her blessed Lord and Saviour. I look forward to the day when I can see her again.

Mom, we will miss your overflowing kindness, your quick wit, your incredible love of family and your steady devotion to our Lord. You have endured much hardship in life with grace and strength; you deserve this rest in our Lord and Savior. Thank you for teaching us well. We will see you when He calls us. Even so come, Lord Jesus. Your babies & grandbabies, Bobby, Donna, Robbie, Alicia, and Jeffery.

Aunt Maude was a special person. She, along with Aunt Mary, were an inspiration for me to become a nurse. She is now at peace, in heaven with our Savior and all the saints.

What a terrific inspiration to all. Always ready with a smile, always having a photo of grandchildren, always ready with an encouraging word. I enjoyed the years of singing alto with her in NABC choir. She is now with her Savior.
