God has called you back to your true home and in doing so has received one of heaven's finest angels. I have to let you go because you never belonged to me, but to Him. I will cry, but only in happiness of the memories we shared. You are always & forever in my heart. Rest in peace Granny'Ba!

To the family of Mrs. Bledsoe, my sincerest heartfelt sympathy goes with you. Mrs. Bledsoe was my Sunday School teacher at Southside Baptist many many many years ago. She had a beautiful contagious smile she always exhibited. She was a WONDERFUL Christian lady she truly loved her nephew Skip like her own child. May God comfort you during your dark hour.
