Not sure what to say?

My heart hurts to know of the passing of Mrs. Knighton. She was family and my 4th grade teacher at Southern Laboratory. As I look back, there was love, patience and understanding in ALL she did and has done. This fleshly world will definitely be missing an earthly angel.

To Minty and Weldon, I extend my heartfelt love and condolences. You both are an example of your mother and the apples of her eyes. Stay strong and know you’re the best parts of her.

Minty and Weldon, please maintain your courage and strength during this difficult time. We will always keep you in our prayers. God loves you and he loves Aunt Alma. We...
