To the Fuqua Family,

Reuben, Chester, Kathy, Kenny, Cynthia, Della, Regina, and James, my heart felt sympathy is extended to you during this difficult time. Nannie held a special place in my heart, and will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. Most of all, we will miss seeing her sweet tender smile, listening to her strong testimonies, and her spirit felt singing. Nannie is now singing some of her favorite songs such as: (Sending up My Timber, Coming Up on the Rough Side of the Mountain) in that great heavenly choir. May God bless and keep you now, and the days to come. Just remember, weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning!

Dearest Reuben, Chester, Kathy, Kenneth,Cynthia, Della, Regina, and James,

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
As you grieve know that I am remembering you and honoring the memory of Nannie Bell, I am so sorry I am not there with you, however, I want to remember Nannie when I saw her last June. Please forgive me and I love you all.

I share comfort in knowing Nannie Bell is no longer suffering, and I send thoughts of sympathy and support to you as you begin your journey without Nannie Bell.

May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.

Love you all,

Cassandra Brown

Dearest Aunt Nannie Bell,
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again. I will miss you, however, I want to remember you as you were. Love your niece Cassandra

To The Family Of Nannie
We were blessed to have had Nannie as our President and Mother of our group. There will be a void now on our group and in our family, no one can replace her, because she was one of a kind. The joy that we had at practice and singing are now memories, prayerfully those memories will get us through the tough times that now lay ahead. With a lot of pray we can get through this.
