I will remember Mrs.Tyler as a sweet person always having kind words to say while being transported to her destination on Handi-ride. May God Almighty comfort the family during this hour of grief.

Dear Family,
I will always remember Cousin Winnie (your mom), as one who enjoyed having children in her home; hers and the neighborhood children too. The Tyler house was the place to be. I recall how the ping-pong table took over the living room and the dining room (the game was on). But your mom. she would just smile, knowing that her children were having fun. She has left a legacy of love for family and friends alike. Continue the gift and know "weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning".

May your love for one another bind you closer during this time of sorrow. May the love of God keep you and the sweet Holy Spirit give you peace.
