To Joyce Linyear and Mrs Doris and Ms Holloman my prayers are with you and your family as the Lord takes you through this time in rejoicing in a well lived life of your Grandmother and Mother Ms Esther. Continue the legacy that she has given you all. I admire how you all pulled together in giving your Grandma and Mom great care and I know she enjoyed every moment of it. She was a joy. You are loved.

Dear Family,
Great Grandma will be greatly missed. She was truly the matriarch of our family...the Queen. She leaves us with many wonderful and humerous memories. She loved us all. I am so proud to be one of her great grandchildren. She was the one who kept us all together. She would want us to continue to fellowship with one another and always love one another. Her goal was to reach 100 years and she did it. Let us celebrate her life of 100 years. May God bless us all during this...
