Tee was a special aunt, and I will truly miss her. I tried very hard to carry out her wishes, and I hope she was pleased. God kept Tee around for over eighty years and she was a blessing to our family. Love always, Emma.

Well, what can I say, I will miss my godmother for ever. She was there for me when I needed someone and she taught me so much. I recall all of the lessons that you have taught me, mainly to be a young lady no matter where I am. Even though you was my godmother, I called you grandma. You took me in while I was in highschool and I am so thankful for that. I love you so much, but God loved you more. I know that you are just another special angel watching over me and my family. I love .

Auntie, I remember working at the "Penny Counter" in your store when I was too young to know what work was. It was fun, you taught me alot. I remember going to Church with you, and reading the Bible in your bedroom. Counting money in your room. I remember the many punishments you spared us. The buttermilk in your fridge, it was awful! LOL, I love you! You loved me and my kids, and you were always so proud of me. I'll always love you!
