Give my love to the family and I will keep you and your family my prayers and give them my condolences and let them know that she is in the place where she had been praying to go for a long time.

Dear Family,
Please accept my offer of prayers and sympathy at the homegoing of "Miss Annie Mae". I remember her fondly for her soft-spoken voice and mostly for the Bible study sessions that she held in the living room. I'm thankful for the friendship that she and Mama shared, especially during their more senior years. May each of you be strengthened by your memories and the love that you had for her. God bless you continually.
