Not sure what to say?

Dear Family, Sorry to hear of our cousin Jereline's demise. We regret that we could not be there to comfort you in person. We remember her staying with our family and palying softball with our sisters, Miriam and Jean. It was always good to see her and the reflect on the "old days". Earth will miss her spirit, as will we. We pray for your comfort and trust that you will continue to exemplify her spirit.

Thompson family, my grandmother (Roberta Parker-Rollins) and I would like to express our sincerest condolences. May God provide you comfort during this difficult time.

~Davase "Winky" Grant & Robert Parker-Rollins

Mrs Thompson was a neighbor of our mother and father(Margaret and Earl Christopher.) We would like to extend our condolence to her family. May God bless the family and always remember the good memories of your mother,grandmother,great-grandmother. —Jerlean,Estelle,Juanita,Vera,Vivian,Lindsey,Paul,Deborah,Jean(Margaret and Earl’s children) God Bless-

My condolences to the Thompsons in the loss of the matriarch and essence of your family! May the great memories and legacy Mrs. Thompson leave be your sunshine in days to come.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit Nanny. She treated me like one of her own as she did many others. I have a picture that I took with her and I will cherish it for the rest of my days. The family always treated me as one of them. You do not have to be born into a family to be family and that is how the entire Thompson Family made me feel. Whenever I would visit she would call the rest of my sisters and they would come by. Rest well nanny. I know all of the Angels like you in Heaven...

On behalf of The Wilson family, we extend our heartfelt condolences to each of you during this difficult time. We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our special family members. We will always cherish the legacy she left behind in both our family and community.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers today and in the days ahead.

Sincerely,
The Wilson Family

We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Our prayers are with you. “But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 59:16

May God's loving presence comfort you, His perfect peace restore you, and His promise of eternal life sustain you during this time of loss.

Words are difficult to console this great loss, but know that this community mourns with you. May peace and comfort soon envelop you so that your memories flood you daily. This beautiful Spirit will never leave you, so take comfort in knowing that She will watch over you always. Much Love... SJ
