Not sure what to say?

My condolences to the family of Ms. Hunter. We pray the God of comfort and love will cover your hearts with His joy, peace and that your reminders of her will be memories of the laughter, joy and peace that she brought to your lives

Mrs. Hunter was a true gem—small in stature but with a heart larger than life. Her kindness and compassion toward everyone she met were clearly gifts from God. I’m so thankful I got to visit her shortly after her 99th birthday a few weeks ago. Being greeted by that same warm, familiar smile truly touched my soul. God has been so good to Mrs. Hunter; she is the definition of a virtuous woman. Sending my love and prayers for peace and comfort to her entire family.

My sincerest...

The Patterson family extends our heartfelt condolences. Wishing you comfort, strength, and peace, and keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Ms Edna rest in peace. Sorors Carmen and Elizabeth, my deepest condolences. Safe travels to and from Savannah.

To the Hunter family In loving memory of Mother Hunter who has been in my family for over 50 years, I truly will miss her. She have fought a good fight. My God has caused His wonders to be remembered and she will be remembered. Also He is gracious and compassionate towards the family. My condolences goes out to you all as we take the last steps of the way. Love you, Gwen D Kelly.

To Mrs. Sandra Young and the entire family of Mother Hunter, I pray that God keep you all comforted and strengthened.
Heaven gained a beautiful angel. When I think of Mother Hunter, I think of one of my favorite scriptures: Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. She did just that. I appreciate her for being a great example. I couldn't look at her without smiling. Her pleasant l-sweet spirit...

My Tribute Honoring Grandmother Hunter:

Fervent Eternal Praise

From Earth
With all mine heart, mind, body and soul have I blessed thee O 'Lord.
Fervently by timbrel and dance have I given thee praise.

In Glory
So grateful for thy grace and thy mercy.
With devotion unto eternity, I shall praise thee ALL THE MORE!

Mother Hunter’s love for the Lord radiated from her before she ever had to say a word. That love and joy for Him made others seek to know Him better because of her eternal flame. That’s what I noticed about her before meeting Mother Hunter. From our first introduction to when my mother was stricken by cancer. Mother Hunter and her daughter Mother Young came by faithfully to visit my mother. I recall the time after prayer the Holy Ghost took over. Thank you family for sharing her with us...
