To the Mauney-Recross Family - We were so surprised and saddened to learn of the passing of "Aunt Sissy".
I have fond memories of her while a child growing up with Myra, Butch, Buddy, and Baby Sis. She was such a sweet, kind spirit.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go through this most difficult time. May the peace of God which passeth all understanding be with you.

Miss Georgia was a longtime neighbor and very good friend to our mother, Alice Bolden. She was kind, generous and very special to Mother during her illness and after her death. May the wonderful memories of your loved one sustain you forever, and God bless all of you.

Grandma...you will truly be missed. I loved the way you would get on the phone with me and "tell it like it is." While in many ways you lived a full life I can't believe that you are gone. Your granddaugther, Marquita means so much to me and know that I'll keep her straight!! It was more than a pleasure to have known you.
I pray that the family finds peace and comfort during this difficult time. Trust that we continue to serve and awesome God..

I was saddened to hear about Mrs. Redcross' passing. There are no words which can fill the empty spot in your hearts and in your lives that is left due to your mother/grandmother passing, but I hope over time you are able to find comfort and peace in your memories of all the wonderful times you shared through the years.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Mrs. Redcross was a fantastic boss & coworker for CID at Fort Eustis. She was a marvelous administrator and ran a tight ship, but we shared many laughs & good times. Georgia was a friend to me when I truly needed one & I loved her.
God bless her family in the loss of such a tremendous lady. May the strength of our our Lord boost your faith during this sad time.
Sincerely,
