To the Edwards Family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. When I look back down memory lane, I can truly remember our trails and tribulations as neighbors in Creighton Court and I'm thankful for them all. We became family not just friends. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy does come in the morning. Ms. Willis will truly be missed by her extended friends and childrens. Love, Annie (decreased), Loretta, Lorraine, Etta and Cynthia.

Ma became like a real mom to me. She took me under her wings to nurture me as she did her own. Through the years, we shared so much. I lost my mom when I was 18 and God's plan was for Ma to step in and adopt me at a time in my life when I really needed a mom. She corrected me, complimented me, and cheered me on. Knowing her made a difference in my life, my children and grandchildren's lives. She was always willing to acccept whatever assignment that was given. God has a special assignment for you Ma. Please put in a good word for us. I will miss you but my love will remain always.

To The Edwards Family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you doing this, because Ma Willis will truly be miss. Just thinking of all the memories of her put a big smile on my face. So much I can say about this lady and if do I'll be typing all night long. One thing I do remember was when we was singing(Jackson Ward 5)and practicing at 2140 Creigtion Rd how straight and to point she was. If you know Joe Jackson of the Jackson 5. She was our. Ask Rick. SMILE. This lady accomplished so much in life. You name it and she can claim it. LOVE and MISS YOU. Baker
