Jimmy, I was shocked and sadden to hear of your Mother's passing. Your parents held a special place in my hearth. As neighbors she encouraged and advised me as I'm sure she did others who she came in contact with in life. Hang on to the memories of your life with her and know that she is in a much better place....she's with her Big Brother Jesus. Keep your hand in God's hand.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mrs. Cradle. She taught my sisters and me in the Riddick Weaver School system in the 60's, and was always one of my favorite sisters. Whenever I saw her at Zion, we'd always recall her birthday celebration in 1963, when JFK's assasination announcement interrupted the festivities. Rest well, dear lady.
