Thankyou for all the talks about life, love and finance. You traveled and enjoyed every bit of fun with your husband Lawrence. The two of you were an incredible pair of people to know. I'm truly going to miss you!

Your nephew,

Mrs. Gums was a family friend. She encouraged my siblings and I along our individual journeys. She was a tremendous asset to the educational community. I know she is resting with my mother and their friends. Love to you Mrs. Gums
