I sat with her on Sunday's at church. She always looked so pretty. Always with a hug and a ready smile and a brief pleasant conversation. Then would tell me to hush. My girl!

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Ms Dudley was not just a church member, she was a friend to me. I have great memories celebrating her birthdays with her. I will miss her dearly.

Momma Rena would take us children hand in hand on the bus across town to go to Lexington Market. Everybody got 3-4 grapes in your hand. Peeled off the skin and ate it separately to make it last. Everybody was responsible to carry one bag back home on the bus. Momma made it fun!

A loving and kind woman who loved all she touched. Rena was like a grandmother to my children and always welcomed our visits regardless of the time of day. A Godly loving heart without contention to anyone. So thankful for her warmth and motherly conversations. I’ll miss your laugh and genuine smile. God bless the Dudley family and thank you for sharing your mother as part of a community family. My sincere condolences.
