TO DEXTER B. REDDING & THE ATWOOD FAMILY, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT WAS ONLY YESTERDAY I MET MRS. ATWOOD. WHAT A JEWEL SHE WAS. I WILL NEVER FORGET HER SMILE. SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND. I KNOW SHE'LL BE MISSED, BUT THINK OF THE GOOD TIMES YOU SHARED WITH HER. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. GOD DON'T MAKE NO MISTAKES. SHE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT. SHE FINISHED HER COURSE. SHE KEEP THE FAITH. MRS. ATWOOD IS WEARING HER CROWN AS WE SPEAK. GOD COULDN'T HAVE GIVEN IT TO A BETTER PERSON THAN HER. SLEEP ON & GET YOUR REST MRS. ATWOOD.

Zelma,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. May God's many Blessings be with you and your family. The Bible says, "Let not your heart be troubled;
ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's 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..." (John 14). Deepest condolences from the Paul's family to the Redding's family.

It is with sadness and sympathy we write this note to the Reddings. We are heartsick about Ms. Bee Bee but we're so happy that we got to see her and get our sweet hug only a few days ago. What a dear soul - she was the perfect combination of gentle and fiesty. She made us laugh and now she makes us cry. She let us love her and now we miss her.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Redding Family in their time of need. I loved Bee- Bee! That goes without saying. Afterall, she always said I was her boyfriend. However, I'm sure she had many. We also had the love of "sweets" in common and almost shared the same birthday. I thought she would live forever. I am very sad because I will miss her and her smiling face!

Some people you meet and you know that your life would not have been the same without that encounter. Ms. BeBe was one of those people. The first time I met her and Mr. J.C. it was love at first sight; they were one of the cutest little couples I had ever met and they loved each other so much and showed so much love to everyone they came in contact with; I am so grateful that she crossed my path with her wisdom, laughter, love for her Lord Jesus Christ and her family was always shared! My love and prayers are extended to you, Mrs. Zelma, Karla, Dexter, Otis Jr., Dee Dee and to the rest of your family! May God Bless you and keep you always.

Ms. Bee Bee was a shining example of family values from a generation of strength and wisdom, a kind sweet lady who until recently often showed up to help with customer service at Karla's Shoe Store. Condolences to Zelma and all of the Redding Family members.
