To Nickie, Lafayette,and Gary

I pray you always feel God's warm comfort. I hold my mother very near and dear to my heart. Very few women impact my life in motherly ways because I had such a wonderful mother. But your mother mad such an impact. I love her and I love how she lived. I loved her sense of humor and her no nonsense way. I learned so much from her and I will forever honor her memory. I do believe she and my mother are having a Hallelujah FIT in Heaven and the Lord just don't know what he did when he put those two back together again. Seeing our mother's together with my spiritual eye makes me SMILE through the tears. I love you and you will forever have my support.

Missionary Green was a true "missionary" in deed. Her caring and dedicated service will always be remembered. She was the "greatest" because she was a "servant", and she served in love. My life was blessed and inspired because of her. She taught me how to be a better "servant". May the life she lived for Christ continue in the lives of so many people her life touched. Family she was just on loan here...she has now gone on to get her reward. My condolences to you all.
