Not sure what to say?

Wow May, it´s been 12 tears since you transitioned home. Arielle will be 12 on the 19th. And as you know, welcomed your grandson, Lil Jonathan Edward Byrd into the family. He looks like his Dad and has your smile. Well, keep on praising our LORD and Savior til I get there. Really miss you and Cue and Mable Pearl immensely. Thanks for the memories and never failing love.

Here I sit, 10 years since your passing, getting ready to celebrate Arielle's 10th birthday. It's amazing to see yu and Mother Pearl in her. She's really a joy and delight to be around. Even though she has cerebral palsy and autism she is excelling beyond expectations. she has that Borum smile and loves life. I think of you at every visit and phone call. Now you have Ed there with you, as well as Pat and Lillie. The circle shrinks here and expand in heaven. Give the family a Hallelujah...

Remembering you May, on this anniversary of our transition home to GOD. Every day, I am reminded of the day when I think, talk to, and/or hear the voice of Arielle, who will be eight on the 19th. It is still rough knowing I missed your homegoing service, But GOD, had another task for me. Ensuring Arielle was born safely and Michele' taken care of appropriately. Just know that my girls are fine! I Miss you Cousin! See Ya When I get there!

I am just learning of this loss. I was greatly sadden. My prayers are with all of the family especially her children.

To the Byrd and Haltiwanger Family,
Both of my children attended and graduated from WKA. Ms. May was and forever will be a wonderful person and I hope that her legacy will live on at WKA. She and the staff at WKA were instrumental forces in my children's education and I will always be grateful to her for that. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

May God be with the family of this beloved educator. She truly had a love for children and made a great mark in society..for our children are our future. God bless her soul.

to the Byrd and Haltiwanger families and the staff at WKA, I was saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. May Byrd. Although I did not have a close personal relationship with her, she touched my life deeply. My child had a warm, loving place to learn and I had the knowledge that my child was in an environment that would shape her whole life.I can never repay Mrs.Byrd for all that she has done by creating this school, but will continue to let people know what a wonderful job is being done...

Let the love and peace of God keep you and your family during the home going of your beloved in the loving arms of
God. Our heart felt condolences are with each of you and she was love and bless by students and all. For you we are praying and she will always be remembered. Let the peace and the Love of God comfort you and the family and friends.
