Not sure what to say?

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Auntie, I will miss you more than anyone will know. You were there when I was going through health problems with my daughter,all I remember you telling me was to stop crying before I get sick or have a nervous breakdown. It was you that said "she will be alright" just keep your head up and read your Bible because the Lord will make it better. When we go to your house to visit, your presence will be missed. We know that your Spirit will be there among us. I appreciated everything you did for...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Iris was a lovely and a beautiful Lady.
I worked with her while working for C&P
and AT&T telephone companies in Alexandria,Va. and Washington,D.C. She was a very kind and loving person.
I know God picked an Angel when he carried her home to her place in Heaven. WITH SYMPATHY AND LOVE

My heart is broken. She is like a second mother to me and to many others. she was the most NON-selfish, giving, loving, beautiful, carring, kind hearted woman I know. I will miss her deeply but I know she has taken her spot in heaven and is walking the streets of gold like the queen she is. I pray God gives her family and friends thet strength to get through this. I LOVE YOU MOMMA IRIS......ALWAYS

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Iris was an inspiration for all. I will miss that smile!

I remember Iris as a wonderful friend in high school; I see in the photo that same smile. I pray that the family has nothing but very fond memories. May God be with you always.

With deepest sympathy! Praise be to God for the life of Iris. She is free at last to enjoy the fruits of her labor. Jesus is Lord and he will keep her in his arms forever!

My deepest sympathy to the family & friends of Iris, I worked with Iris at C&P Telephone Company many years ago. Iris was a sweet, wonderful friend, she will be missed. Bridget Christian-Robinson
