My deepest condolences to your family. It was a pleasure to see Ms. Cottom's wonderful smile each time I came to work here at Monarch Woods and at our previous church. God needed another shing star and now he has one. My prayers are with your family during this time and days to come.

To the family of Willie Mae Cottom:
Thanks for sharing your aunt with so many Richmonders! When Aunt Willie arrived in Richmond she made hundreds of friends within a few weeks for she never met a stranger. She became my family and was loved by all of my family members and friends. Look back on all the fine memories she shared with each of you for she shall be truly missed.
