Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Ms. Graham was an AMAZING woman of God! I will forever remember how she and Mr. Graham took me when I was a student at JSU and made me feel as if I were a part of their immediate family and for that I thank you!

A woman of grace, class and poise. I will never forget Ms. Albertine. She would always get on me whenever I would visit our old church and ask 'when was I coming home?' She was a mother at home and at church! Because she would get on all of us like a mother does. That's what I loved so much about her...she genuinely cared deeply about her family and her church and just people in general. She made a mark in my life that will not be erased. I love you, Ms. Albertine and will always cherish you.
