I have many memories of working in the store with Ollie and Annelle on Sat and during the Christmas Holidays. His sister Carol was in my high school class and she got me the joy. May the many memories sustain you in your time of sorrow.

To the family of Ollie Mohamed, Sr.:
Ollie Mohamed, Sr. was a pillar not only to the city of Belzoni but to Humphreys County and the state of Mississippi. Whether as a business man or State Senator, he listened to the people he served.

I remembered when I was a little boy I would sit on the couch next to him at his store and talk to him while looking at some old Belzoni High School annuals. He and his family were good friends with my family and he will be missed. My family and I will be putting Mr. Mohamed's family in our thoughts and prayers.

GOD BLESS YOU, OLLIE MOHAMED, SR.

Mrs. Mohamed and Family,

Our country and state lost a Great American yesterday from this earth. Heaven gained a new angel. Senator Mohamed's guidance and advice helped mold me into a better person and I will always be grateful for the time he took to spend with me. If our life here is defined by how we treated and responded to other's needs, then Senator Mohamed stands tall today on the top of the mountain. May God Bless you and give you peace during this time. I won't be able to attend the service, but I just wanted ya'll to know that I am thinking of you and that I loved Ollie and will always cherish his memory.
