I tried to call you the other day to say hi and that I loved you. I was confused as to why you didn't pick up. You always answered my calls with such excitement just to hear from me. I miss that. I think about you all the time and wish you could see my sisters kids. You would be so proud. I'll check in later. I love you and miss you.

Aunt Mary has went home to be with family. Tell your sister, my grandmother, we are doing okay. Tell my dad and mom we'll doing okay.
Of course with all the windows in Heaven I'm sure they can see this for themselves. RIP Aunt Mary and Uncle Erin.
Time marches on. Our door is always open to family.
We are with you in prayer and thoughts.

Aunt Mary, I loved you when you I was little and loved you when I am grown, you will always be in my heart, for you welcomed me in your home. I remember the times you cooked your corn, just for me, because it was all I would eat. You will be greatly missed by me and all of us who loved you, But we know you are going to see Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Aaron all of those who have gone on before. We know you are welcomed into Heavens gates and you will be waiting there for us to join you one day. I love you and always will.

Giving honor and praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ our family was deeply saddened to hear that our dear neighbor and friend Mrs. Compton had passed away. It was our good fortune to have known her and live next door to her for the past eight years. Her presence will be sorely missed. Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Donna, Judy, Brenda and Helen for the loss of their Mother.
May peace and blessings be upon you during this difficult time.
God Bless You All,
Mr & Mrs John Coleman and Daughter LaValla
