My dear mother, I will never forget what you've done for me and Stephanie. You really took care of us both after your daughter Ka passed away. I will always remember your love, the guidance, and your love for God as you encouraged me to be a better man, father and grandfather to your beloved daughter and great grandchildren. I am truly going to miss you but your memory will stay in my heart forever.
Love, Stephen Kinard
Always a Mother to me you were

My dear friend Wanda, (as well as Sherman and Dyson),
I know what a difficult loss this must be at this time of year. I heard many stories and “sayings” from your mom by you at work, Wanda. She was a woman loved by so many with such a large family surrounding her. She was a fortunate woman to have been so cherished by all of you. I pray for peace and comfort for you all. I know your dear mom is rejoicing and reunited with family and friends in the presence of God. May the Holy Spirit be near to you, comfort you and sustain you in this time of grief. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are surrounded by God’s comforting arms during this tough time.
All my love,
Sarah Alley

To The Pendleton Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Ma Miriam will be truly missed. I will cherish all of my memories with her. The talks, laughter and just joking with her. All the family reunions, trips, and dinners must go on in her honor. That beautiful smile she had would light up any room. Ma Miriam you had fought a good fight, you have finished your course, now take your peaceful rest until we meet again. With all my love.
