Dessa, Lewis, Tina, and Fonda,
Thank you for sharing Mag with us. We loved her smile of pride when she looked at each of you. She always greeted us with a smile, a funny story about something one of you did, and said goodbye with a loving hug and words of wisdom.
O'Dell and Mag are having a heavenly party now.
We Love You,
Renton, Marcia, and Cisha

Dear Richardson Family:
We send our prayers and deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your dear mother. We found her to be soft-spoken, kind, generous, and filled with compassion. Your mother was such a good and devoted friend to our mother, her neighbor, from the time she moved into the neighborhood until her death 2 1/2 years ago. We will always remember her and cherish her memory for all her kindness shown to our mother. May each of you receive God's blessings.
