I did not know your mother personally, but I had the pleasure of meeting her while she was taking her walks in the neighborhood.
I was not aware that she had passed, until I saw her beautiful picture with her beautiful smile. May God keep you and your family! Ms. V

To the Witherspoon family. What a wonderful and sweet, sweet spirited person Ms. Witherspoon was. She was always concerned about others. Looking back I realized that I have known her since I was a little girl at Laymen Chapel and I feel so blessed to have known her for so long.
You all keep the faith and believe that she is in a much better place then we are.

To the Family: Sis. Hazel was a wonderful person with the most beautiful smile. Often times when I attended services at Laymen Chapel she greeted everyone with a smile. Sis. Witherspoon was a jewel upon this earth. However, we all labor to rest in the joy of the Lord. Well done thy good and faithful servant!
