Taye, Auntie Deb and Family, Please accept my deepest condolence for the passing of your wonderful mother. I lived across the street from your mother for years and she was always so nice to me and my children and I loved her very much because she was always encouraging me to do what was right. We spent many days sitting on her porch just talking about different things she had a great sense of humor and alway "meant what she said" I haven't seen her in years but I could never forget how nice and kind she was to me and my children and I could tell that she cared a great deal for me to. I have never forgotten about her and I am honored to have had the opportunity to know her.
