What I remember about my Sister-in Law is that she had a big warm heart. She loved to entertain guests, cooked her butt off, and made you feel at home. Me and Cella always looked forward to coming home for Christmas and Thanksgiving so we could get our chitterlings on. She was diva sometimes but her heart was always about family.
To my nieces and nephews, stay strong an, d never forget the love she taught you. To my dear friends (Howard and Eula), I Know your hearts from long ago and feel your loss. But do not forget she is in a better place because she now rests with God.
My condolences,
Billy
