To the family, I am sorry for your loss. Growing up Ms. Sissy was like an Aunt thru her and Mr. Bill's relationship with my Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Willie. May God comfort your aching hearts and wrap His Love around the family. Aunt Sylvia would say "see ya later" to those she loved that had gone to be with the Lord!! See ya later Ms. Sissy, Rest Easy!

To the family of Sissie Carruthers, God makes no mistakes, he wanted her to feel no more pain, so he sent his angels to bring her home to him. If you want to see her again, you must receive him into your life, may God bless you all.
