To the Family of Dr. Jessie Furlow,

I met and worked with Dr. Furlow as
"Sisters" in the National Hook-Up of Black Women.
We had many discussions via e-mail regarding the health state of the Black Family. I will miss her, but her dedication and love for people will live on.
She truly made a difference while she was here. Now she is at rest with the Lord.

May God Bless and Comfort you.

I want to thank Dr. Furlow's parents for raising such a wonderful person who cared so much for others. Dr. Furlow took care of my mother for many years and my family and I were blessed to have Dr. Furlow care for my mother. I will continue to pray for her family and encourage everyone to look to God for guidance and strength during this difficult time.
