Earlier today

Aletha was not only my friend, my sister, classmate every close name you can call. I loved her dearly. Been to her home on several occasions, close to her sisters Terri and Jackie, know her brother Johnny, her Mom and a few other relatives. We attended Marshall together sang in A Choir together, her laughter, her sweet voice, the way she cared can never be replaced but will always be remembered. We had a little group while at Marshall called the Family. Brian Ward was Dad Aletha was mom and Ray Crisp, Michael Bailey and myself were their kids. I used to jokingly call her Mom. She would sometimes put me on punishment..lol I will definitely miss her but never stop loving her.

Aletha was a beautiful person inside and out. A sister and classmate. A angel of praise, and lover of God and his people.

I worked with Aletha at Magnet Bank when Town Centre opened in Charleston. She was a leader, motivator, friend and total fashion icon! Prayers for all
