To Deacon Snow and Family:

I just wanted to extend my condolences and say to you and your family: To be absent from the flesh is to be present with the Lord is now where Mrs. Snow resides. As many people have alluded she was a wonderful person who touched those who were blessed to have been in her presence one way or the other by encouraging strong interpersonal development. Rest in Peace Mrs. Gervais Burton Snow.

Shelita and Family-
I'll always remember how very funny Mrs. Snow was and how we often met in BiLo and talked and talked! She kept me laughing and helped me to see the humor in sometimes difficult circumstances. I'll also remember how she encouraged and supported me when I taught her intelligent grandson Shamarius.
I thank God for allowing me to know such a fantastic lady and I will keep her forever in my heart. May God grant your family the PEACE that surpasses all understanding.Carry on and keep her legacy alive!
