We met Mrs Raines at Lamar Baptist Church. She sat just in front of us. She was so friendly, so poised, and intelligent. She exemplified what it means to be a lady. We were blessed to have known her.

Wanda was a customer of ours years ago. We owned and operated a tree trimming business and had the pleasure of working for her. She had a beautiful garden and wanted to make sure her trees were kept up as well. It was at this time I learned I had known her daughter for years. Wanda graciously passed her intelligence and thoughtfulness to her daughter.
It has been a pleasure to have known you both. May you rest in peace in your heavenly fathers arms.
