MOM, your unexpected passing was such a blow; a tremendous shock of hurt to me; we were planning a long trip rejoicing with your recovery once you were released from the hospital, but God made His move to gently take you out of this world filled wth troubles and give you rest from your earthly pilgrimage until that great day of the Rapture where you'll put on your eternal suit/body of glory, and I live and await that time not only to be with our Lord and savior Jesus CHrist, but to be reunited with you once again, and until that appointed time I will continue to cherish your memories, and all the times that we had together.
I love you and miss you greatly Mom, but in time we will unite once again, and this will be forever; all eternity; NO more separations!
Your Son, Tyrone (Patricia) Lee Swift Sr.

It's been eight years (02-22-2016) since you left us Mom,but you're never forgotten. Losing you was such a very painful experience that I could have never imagined, but I'm so very thankful to God that through the pain you have been put to rest from your earthly journey, and now awaiting that great day of your eternal resurrection to forever be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; never to experience the ugly pains of this early journey. I await that time until we reunite for evermore, and will always hold you dear in my heart for being such a wonderful Mother: thanks, and love always

REMEMBERING you Mom (the late Jane F. Boddie) on your birthday; March 17, 1938; you would have been 85yrs of age. I never will forget the day of your departure from this life on February 22, 2016; it was so unexpected, and very hurtful; a pain like none other.
I'm so thankful to have had you as my Mom; I learned so much from you that yet benefit me long into my adulthood. So many memories, and challenges, but God saw us through many things together, and I'm thankful. I'm so thankful for your receiving Christ into your life so many, many years ago, and being that Christian example to so many.
Happy Birthday; you're sorely missed, but NEVER forgeotten. Until we meet again in all eternity with our Lord and Savior jesus Christ I will keep your memopry alive.

Wow Mom! It's been 7 years (February 22, 2016), since you left us and entered into your rest with Christ; passing from this temporal life, and entering into your eternal state with God. I could have never imagined the awful pain that I expereicned on that day February 22, 2016 when you made your transition; I was there with you to witness your departure; I will never forget, but knowing that you had fulfilled your time in this life, and had met your appointment in passing; sad, but also joyful in that you're now no longer in this troubled world filled with dangers, and uncertainties, but in safety with Christ; FREEDOM from all pains, disappointments, and struggles.
I'm so very grateful that you had experienced the gift of salvation long, long before you passed. Experiencing the Born Again gift upon repentance (Acts 2:37-38), and went on to live, Love, witness, and serve the Lord until He called you to your appointment; a glorious end; only to enter into eternal bliss.
I look to be reunited with you one day eith by my own passing in death unto eternal life, or if I yet remain alive at the trumpet call of the Church in the catching away (Rapture) of all God's people frm this stained world of troubles; I will see you again, and until then I keep your memory alive, and speak often of you to those who I come into contact with: Rest on.
Love, Your Son, Tyrone (Patricia Lynn) Lee

Wow!!! Today (March 17, 2022) marks another birthday that you're gone from us, but you're never, ever forgotten Mom; you would have been 84yrs.
I can remember our conversations, and you would tell me that you wanted to live to be 100 years of life, Your time on Earth was 78rs; 22yrs short, but the better deal that God wade for you IS eternal life that you have IN/with Him, and all those that lives for Him. Although I've had my crying moments; God chose the BEST for you, and I do believe that you'd rather wait for us on the side of eternity where's there's no pain, grief, nor sorrow; no yesterdays, todays, nor tomorrows, but just a jubilant time of God's presence forever.
Thanks Mom, for all of the times that we shared together; the good, the challenging, and the learning wonderful! So many things that I've learned from you that even now I'm benefitting from your teachings, and example: thanks!
Happy Birthday Mom, and LOVE you always;

Hey Mom, we lost Pops in November of 2020, and it's incredible with how difficult to have you both gone away from this life.
I miss you so dearly, and I'm at great loss of your presence. I fixed up, and dedicated one of our bedrooms to your honors; it's filled with your what-nots, job/college award, pictures, plaques, and bed accessories; it's beautiful.
I find myself emulating your doings in so many ways, and my mind runs back over 50 years ago with how I would observe your doings around the home, and I'm following in those same footsteps; you'd be surprised with how my life reflects so much of your teachings.
Mom, I miss your sorely, and I await the time for us to reunite for all eternity!!!
PS: I found so many letters that you would pray for me, and ask God's help, and blessings upon my life: I really do need God's help tremendously: THANKS.
I LOVE MOM.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY: Just thinking about you Mom, and reflecting back on so many, many memories that stretches back to my childhood in the 60's, and my growing relationship with you over the years into adulthood; even when we had our rough landing into Memphis TN in 1982who would have thought that we would end up homeless together, but from that experience God lifted us up together, and prospered our lives, and it created a stronger bond between us: I shall never forget you, nor the many things that you taught, and shared with me about life-people, and business mattersI am still reaping the many benefits from all that I've learned from youthank for loving me even though I was a handful as a child, but God saved me, and grew me up to understand many things, and we grew in our walk with the Lord together.
You are sorely missed by my wife, and I; we talk about you all the time; many good times, fun times, and some challenging times that we overcame together. I wait for that eternal reunion {Church Rapture} that God has promised us all that serve, and trust in Him. Until thenI keep your memory alive, and share your life with friends, and your grands/great grandchildren.
I've just completed my 6th revision of my church Leadership Training Manual, and it has a very beautiful/colorful-informational/pictorial dedication section in it honoring your memory; your support that you gave to get the church building, and help to finance what is needed; your memory through this booklet is circulating around the country: I want everyone possible to know what you've been to so many people. Thank you for that impacting Mother's LOVE that you shared with so many.

In memory of my Mom; the late Jane F. Boddie (Sunrise: 03.17.1938/Sunset: 02.22.2016). Its been three years today that God chose to give you rest from your Earthly labors, and to bring you into His eternal joy. Your passing was such a crushing blow to me emotionally, but God was able to comfort my heart to know, and realize that youre in the BEST of that better place-Paradise; resting; awaiting the union of all of Gods children of all the ages of mankindthe rapturing of the Church of Jesus Christ to be with Him eternally, in that promise place that Hes preparing for us all.
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Fathers house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know. St. John 14:1-4
And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:3-5
Gods word is TRUE, and is never failingGod has made us much better promise in our next life eternal!!! My heart rejoices always to know that youre safe with Jesus, and no longer experience the many pain, and sufferings of this life. I look for to our heavenly reunion one day, and until that day I keep your memory ALIVE in my heart, and among your grandchildren. God took you on my grandson Josiahs birthdaywhat a great tribute for remembrance!!!
Love Always, your sonElder Tyrone L. Swift Sr.

Thinking of You. It's been over 18 month since you left me {February 22, 2016}, and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you, and the life we had as Mom/Son. Losing you is a hurt/pain that is foreign, and like none other. Even though I know that you passed this life saved, and into the eternal rest of Jesus; it still leave a void, and absence.
I have so many great memories, and joys that we shared in Memphis together; lots of challenges, but God helped us through them all. I'm so glad that we had the relationship that we did; NO regrets, NO afterthought of what I should have done, NO complaints of you; you were a terrific Mom who aught me far into my adulthood great things; I'm still benefitting on what I've learned from you.
Your passing separates us for a temporary period, but we will reunite at the appearing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the sky {church rapture}, and then we'll be together for all eternity.
I LOVE YOUR DEARLY MOM, AND APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME {WIFE-PATRICIA}.

Remembering my Mom {Jane F. Boddie} on this special Mother's Day Celebration. This is my second Mother's Day that you're gone away from your earthly labor into the rest, and the presence of our Savior Jesus Christ.
I'm learning that there are some experiences in this life whereas time will not heal the hurt and wounds of suffering(s), and losing my Mom is a lifelong hurt; the comfort that I do have is that you gave your life to the Lord {ACTS 2:37-38} a long time ago, and at your passing have entered into His care from the turbulences/storms of this life: I REJOICE IN THIS TRUTH!!!!
MOM: I do not remember a day that has gone by that your memory is yet very alive in my thoughts. I have so many memories, and joys of your life while you yet lived; your smile, and laughter; your many prayers and encouragements to me, and for so many others; you are not forgotten. I look forward to that great day when we are united back together for all eternity with Jesus.
I remember the day of your passing {February 22, 2016/1:31pm}, which is also the celebrated birthday of your great-grandson Josiah; you called him TuTu. While it was a very painful experience for me as your Son to suffer the loss of my Mom, I'm so thankful, and I take comfort to know that God chose to pluck you away from the soils of this contaminated world: GOD MADE YOU A BETTER DEAL!!!
I SEE SO CLEARLY THE PROVERBS CHAPTER 31 WOMAN-WIFE-MOTHER YOU WERE.

10) Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
12) She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13) She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14) She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15) She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16) She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17) She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18) She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19) She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20) She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21) She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22) She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
24) She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25) Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26) She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27) She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28) Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29) Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30) Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31) Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates....Proverbs 31:10-31
I can truly reflect over my life as a child into manhood, and observe the growth, and maturing of my Mom's and she really reflects the VIRTUOUS woman.

I remember Mom all of your faithfulness, and you telling me how you will be out there in the vineyard with me, and I told you that you were too old-lol, but that I would have a chair for you under the canopy in the cool, and that you would pass out refreshments, and talk to the young people; your greatest delight.
I/WE will continue to carry on this work and honor you for all of your contributions; your TIME-TALENTS-TREASURES shared with/among so many; you are GREATLY missed!!!
I submit this Outreach Poster Board in your honor Mom--we work, and we labour while you take your rest in Jesus Christ!!!!

Then next photo is that of my Mom's, and wife praying on their knees.

MY MOM'S CHURCH IN MEMPHIS
Elder Tyrone {Patricia} Swift Sr.
April 7, 2016
I want to share in memory, and appreciation of my Mom's; the late Jane F. Boddie and her great contributions with the help in purchasing, and renovations of our church; the LifeChanging-Way Apostolic Deliverance Temple back in 2011.
We sought out property in the South Memphis Community in 2005looking at over 50 different properties in a 6 year period, and landed purchasing our present day building; a former hair salon which had been vacant for about 7 years, and need much internal/external renovation along with approved code enforcement updating.
It was very discouraging trying to find, and secure a building/property for the Kingdom Ministry work that God had called me to do as a Pastor because nobody was willing to sell, and just with the aid/support in the beginning of my wife Patricia, and my Mom's Jane F. Boddie we purchased our building through a tax sale auction, and won the bid, and paid cash at $13,800: thank you Jesus!!!
Our initial internal renovation was at an added cost of about $17,500 in which we had the money; my Mom has contributed $21,000; my wife $17,000, and I myself about $40,000 in which we had saved over a 5 year period for this project/work of God.
Since purchasing our building in March 2011 we have done extensive internal/external beautification/renovation, and I submit these pictures in honor of what my Mom's prayers-support, contributions, and unwavering FAITH in God, and in her son {Elder Swift} could do to make the vision of creating an OASIS {place of refuge} in the heart of South Memphis that God could bring His people in and save them.
This is another testimony to my Mom's honor with how she has helped me to fulfill many of my personal pursuits, and the pursuit of doing God's will: thank you MOM!!!

It's almost Midnight Saturday April 2, 2016, and I'm up thinking about the prayers made by my Mother; the late Jane F. Boddie for her children, grands, greats, and family. I would like to share with you a prayer that I found date 04.16.2015 written down by my Mom's for her family.
Special blessing for Elder Swift.
Lord I thank you for waking me up this morning in my right mind. Thank you for all of my blessings. Thank you for blessing all of my family; my children; grandchildren, and great. My daughter-in-law; son-in-law; sister-in-law; brother-in-law; nieces, and nephews.
I thank you for blessing our church LifeChanging-Way Apostolic Deliverance Temple {adtlife.org}. Lord, you know all the things that we need; we thanks you them all. Thank you for blessing Elder Swift with more love, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, forgiveness, and obedience. Bless Elder Swift to lead your people in the way that you want us to be lead. Amen!!!
I think on the many, many times that I would call my Mom's late on my m job at night, or early in the mornings; I would say, "what you doing old lady"; she would say, "son,momma up praying for you, and the church ministry" I would be so uplifted, and encouraged that my Mom's kept me in prayers before the Lord. My Mom's would tell me how much strength, and encouragement that she would get from me, but I would tell her the same things of how she was a beacon of everything to me, and in my life.
I would observe my Mom's at church in prayers, so, so many times, and encouraging the people; she loved to talk with young people, and the young women about the Lord, and doing well in their lives.
I am the product of my Mom's prayers from an infant to an adult. I remember my Mom's rocking me on her knee praying and singing to me as a baby; she put the faith, and belief in me for God as a young baby/lad, and I am saved today; a Born Again Christian because of my Mom's.
I will NEVER forget my Mom's prayers, and vast influences in my life. I will always keep her memory in my heart; my spirit, and strive to be the BEST in every facet of my life in her honor, and memory: my Mom's; the late Jane F. Boddie. My heart aches, and my spirit is hurt, but I have a lifetime of her memories, and to know that she's at REST in the care of Jesus; wow; this is the greatest of all memories, and blessed assurance: thank you Jesus for my Mom's!!!!
March 31, 2016
I'm sitting here at my desk/computer thinking about my Momma; the late Jane F. Boddie, and my heart is filled with many great memories, but a somewhat somber because after being with her daily for the past 6-7 months; night, and day I'm preparing to return back to my job after being away almost the entire time that she was in the hospital/Rehab.
It feels like going back to work is a close on all of those times that I was with her; a return to what seems a normalcy, but absent of this great Mom's.
I really know that I'm not absent of my Mom's; its just an emotional/life adjustment that I'm experiencing. My life is filled with Mom's memories, and JOY---to serve and care for my Mom's these past 34 years; 17 with health challenges, and the last 6-7 months was my pure delight with NO regrets. I told my Mom's on occasions; "you loved, and care for me as a babe, and oftentimes even in my adulthood; I now give it back to you with pleasure, and NO hesitation"; she would tell all the hospital/Rehab staff; "my son is taking good care of me"; I was so thrilled to see my Mom's so happy, and satisfied: GOD HAS BEEN LOVING, AND GRACIOUS TO US ALL!!!!
My Mom's took her rest from this life as a very courageous; strong soldier of the Lord, and an example for all!!!
I submit this photos of my wife Patricia, and my Mom's little man; her great grandson Josiah whom my Mom's call: TUTU...

I'm remembering my Mom's; the late Jane F. Boddie on this Resurrection Sunday Celebration. It is today; 34 years ago that I became a Born Again Christian. My Mom's prayed many prayers for her ruff/bad boy to be saved, and God heard her prayers, and saved me back on April 11th, 1984. I think about the many times that my Mom's would testify of her same Born Again experience, and how she accredit me with the many times that I would witness the New Testament plan of salvation to her, and how she repented of her sins, and surrendered her life to Jesus: we had so much in common, and enjoyed life, and Christ together.
My Mom's was such an inspiration to me in my call as a Minister/Pastor; just having her with me in church services was a great boost to all that I would do in service to others.
I celebration on today the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and Mom's memory to al that she has contributed to my life with being who I am in Christ; together we were strength, and helpers to each other.
My Mom's will not always remain in her grave, but like countless others; she will rise up Just like Jesus did from His borrowed grave; Jane F. Boddie will rise/be resurrected from the grave, and given a new body; an immortal body that will not reflect the troubles of this life, but be glorified with Christ, and forever be with Christ as all Born Again believers will enjoy!!!
Happy Resurrection Sunday!!!

Today I remember my mother-in-law's first month of her passing; the late Jane F. Boddie on February 22, 2016.
I was with my husband {Elder Tyrone Swift Sr.} by her bedside as we prayed and said our good-byes to such a wonderful Mother; it was a heart-wrenching experience, but a precious one, because my mother-in-law slept into the rest of Jesus Christ.
I came into the family by marriage in 1985 and shortly afterwards began my relationship with my mother-in-law; its been a great pleasure to be a daughter to her, and have her as my second mother.
We spent many fun times, and many praying times together about many issues; believing God for help, and answers.
Mother Boddie stayed many nights/weekend in our home, and we travelled many times to visit other family members together. I learned a lot from her as a new wife; mother, and keeper of my home; she was an immaculate/virtuous woman in the home, and as a godly example to me.
I'm still working through my grief with losing my mother-in-law, but I do have the joy of her salvation; I have God's blessed assurance for her!
God bless my mother-in-law the late Mrs. Jane F. Boddie

Today I am remembering my Mom's; the late Mrs. Jane F. Boddie with celebrating one month {30 days} in which she left us on February 22nd, 2016 to take her rest from her labours in this world; resting in Paradise; awaiting Jesus to rapture His Church out of this world.
My Mom's left a legacy; a heritage; a world of great thing behind for me to celebrate, and cherish all of the days of my life.
As I go through my Mom's belongings--I find many imprints of her services to the community, and the many recognitions that were given to her works; especially her works towards the children here in Memphis through the Port Leath Children program.
There's the Letters/Certificates from US Congressman Steve Cohen, and from the desk of our President Barak Obama recognizing her work/influences among the socio-disadvantaged children in South Memphis. I even remember the luncheon that my Mom's invited me to with Congressman Steve Cohen dinning with us, and saluting Mrs. Jane F. Boddie for her many contributions.
I see all the pics; drawings that the children made for my Mom's calling her Grandma; they would run to her when she entered to facility, and tell her about their lives; they would kiss, and hug my Mom's.
My Mom's was a GREAT supporter of my church ministry in her Time-talents, and treasures. She saved and contributed over $21,000.00 in the 5 years that we saved for a building in the first 5 years of preparations. When we purchased a hair salon for our church; my Mom's helped to renovate, clean, and get the church ready for the community--I OWE Mom's much!!! We had many great services, and worships together.
My Mom's was a great business woman and she invested her monies well, and many were blessed financially through her charitable giving. Mom's supported St. Jude Children Research; LeBonheur Children Hospital; Feed The Children-etc., and as Mom's gave; God was also faithful to her, and provided her every need: thank you Jesus!!!
My Mom's loved her family; children-grandchildren, and greats--she was also a great help/example to the College Part Senior Citizen Community where she resided; there's just so many FOND memories that I will dwell on, and share for my lifetime.
It's been 30 days Mom's, but it seems like forever!!! I am so thankful for these past 34 years since we first landed in Memphis, and how God made this our new home.
I cherish everything that you left in my care--it will be well preserved.
I look for that great Day in which our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ reunite us back together forever; until then--I CHERISG EVERY DAY OF YOUR MEMORY!!!
I LOVE YOU MOM: YOUR SON TYRONE SWIFT SR.

I have so MUCH that I am thanking God for my mom; the late Jane F. Boddie who went to her rest in the Lord on February 22nd, 2016--this is also the birthday of our youngest grandson Josiah; what a way to double celebrate: thank you Jesus!!!
I've spent most of the day celebrating what would have been my Mom's 78th birthday; I spent time alone going through her apartment belongings which we moved into my home; many, many awesome things to cherish as we dedicate our largest bedroom to her memory; FILLED with her belongings.
My wife and I then went to dine in her honor at her most favorite place: Red Lobster; this was at the suggestion of my uncle; my Mom's brother Mr. Eddie Crews--we sat and ate, and just reflected on the many times that we shared at this place with my Mom's.
I'm so thankful to God that while my Mom's lived we brought the Red Lobster Feast to her once at the hospital, and once at Rehab; along with many other lunch/dinner entrees of her choice--we also joined in her hospital and Rehab staff to share in those many eating, and desert opportunities; she had wonderful doctors, nurses, and rehab personnel: thank you Jesus!!!
I want to thank God for the wonderful doctor/nurses staff at the Baptist Memorial Hospital East, and the Signature Rehab facility on Park Avenue; they were used of God to not only saved my Mom's, but to restore her health from cancer, and to give her a great quality of life for 6+months for us to enjoy; we never thought to lose her, but our gracious Lord came in and took her to her rest; very gently: thank you Jesus.
My Mom's, wife, and I shared so many, many days/nights in prayer--devotion--laughing--talking, setting many of her affairs in order as she instructed, and made us to know that she was pleased with our caring for her; the love, and dedication to her needs: it was awesome and our pleasure to spend with Mom's.
I'm thankful to God for my uncle Eddie Crews; he was very prayers, and a great guide to us all, and my wife Patricia; she was a jewel to my Mom's and spent many nights with her; ,y Mom's would light up when she would stay the nights, and she would send me on home-lol; wonderful Jesus!!!
YES, I weep, and even wail in her absence, but I rejoice that she was truly a chill of God, and declared Jesus to all; some of the nurses would come and check on her apart from their shifts, and fuss over my Mom's---they kept her clean, and happy.
My Mom's illnesses was not a pitiful state, but great opportunity to observe people all around her that loved, and cared for her, and some awesome medical people with our GREAT God right there in the midst: thank you Jesus...
I miss my Mom's but I have a lifetime of FUN, blessed experiences, and memory of such a great-virtuous woman: my Mom's; the late Jane F. Boddie.
MOM, we will be reunited in the rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ; until then I live to carry on your honor, and memory; your son Tyrone L. Swift Sr.
THANK YOUJ ESUS FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR MY MOM'S!!!

I enjoyed
cleaning and grooming my Mom's; brushing her teeth; rinsing,
trimming her nails, and toes, washing her hair, lotioning

was spoiled greatly.
The nurses prayed
for Mom's; groomed/braided her heai, clean her thoroughly;
FUSSED over her, and one got jealous hot when other nurses
would hang around after their shift was over, and/or come up
to visit on their off days; if was so FUNNY to see how they
gravitated to her; even the doctors stayed real close to
her, and KEPT their phones open for me to call at any time:

I'm preparing my awesome gratitude to God for my mom; the late Mrs. Jane F. Boddie; the many, many years of intimate togetherness that we shared from our ruff landing in Memphis starting in 1982, and the many great triumphs thru every trial that we were face with together.
I thank God for the bond that was formed as I never would have known.
My mom's final 6 months of life was not one of pitifulness, but of grace, prayers, laughter, fun times, and watching God, and my mom's bond with Him grow, and electrify the lives of many that came into her presence.
THANK YOU JESUS FOR 77 YEARS OF LIFE FOR MY MOM: SHE LIVE IN DIGNITY AS A MOTHER, AND CHILD OF GOD, AND SHE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY INTO THE REST OF GOD; WAITING FOR THAT GREAT AND ANTICIPATED RESSURECTION OF AL OF THOSE THAT SLEEP/LIVE IN CHRIST!!!!

I am going to miss my Aunt Faye dearly.
I remember when I was a little girl and I would call my granny's house and whenever you were over there visiting you would answer the phone. I couldn't tell your voice apart from my granny's so you and granny would trick me and make me guess which one I was talking to.
I also remember how welcoming you were to me and my friends. Anytime I was stopping through Memphis I would call you up and let you know and you would always welcome me over for a visit and let my friends come with me too. Then before I would leave you would always pray for me and any friend that was with me.
R.I.P. Aunt Faye
Love you,
