She was my Great-gramndma, whom I haven't seen since I was a toddler. However, I did have the opportunity to reunite with her at the family gathering at her house in summer '08. I can truly say it was a pleasure and an honor to have met such a beautiful person. When I first saw her I was like "wow"! The beauty, the wisdom and the blessing (to have lived as long as she have). So, with that being said, Rest in Peace Grandma. I love you. And to the family..Keep God first. A family that prays together, stays together. God will comfort us in our time of sorrow.

To: My Cousins, The Holmes Family
You are in my prayers. Jerlene, you know how much I love cousin Annie. I feel that she loved me equally as much. She would always hold my hand and pat it whenever I would visit her. Whenever I passed the intersection of Highway 40 and 615, I would say: " I've got to visit cousin Annie." It is ironic that I visited her less this year than ever. We will all miss her, but we can have peace within knowing she was a woman of God. May God bless all of you.

Love,
Arlene Holmes Robinson
