Mother, I light this candle in your honor, because you were our guiding light. You always told us to look to God for our help, as you did constanly. We know you are resting with the Lord and we will keep pressing toward the mark and meet you one day. Keep smiling and watching us as we grow. LOVE you always. Your daughter Shirley

Granny all though your gone i know you are now resting out of pain. Although it hurts we shall not cry.. why, Because while it may hurt our hearts to see you leave, its never a sad day when the lord calls you home. We will meet again. Luv you Granny and may you R.I.P. May the Willis family stay strong, and let this help build a stronger family bond even tho the glue is gone. The adhesive is still very much there/alive. Luv you all

I am so blessed to have known Granny. She was a beautiful strong woman. I know that her wisdom and love will be remembered and passed down to the rest of the family. My heart goes out to all of the family during this time. I love you all, and stay strong.

Granny you have been my rock, my teacher,it is at your feet where i learned to everything that I know to be good. It is at your side that I learned to have faith in God and to war in prayer. When I felt rejected and alone you consoled me and have loved me unconditionally. Granny, I am for ever grateful all the time we have shared. I know that you are having a good time now walking around heaven, keep us before the throne, we still need prayer to make it through! I love you and miss you so much! May heaven help us, to live and achieve the successes in life that you desired for us. Rest in peace my love.
