Nora, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. It was lovely to chat with her when she came to events at MEEC/Ellison-Parks. She had a way of making people feel special and cared for. Sending hugs and love to you.

Aunt Barbie, even though we didn´t communicate regularly, whenever we did talk, it felt like we did not skip a beat. I´m so glad that Dad and Ma chose you to be my godmother. The way you affectionately said my name, Maahsha, along with the sweet smell of coconut pie when I visited you, always made me feel as though I was right there beside you. I am proud to have had a godmother who made me feel so special. No more pain.--I Love You! Marcia

To Barbie, you were the best big sister anyone could ever ask for. You loved me enough to name your first girl after me. Lucky me, we always had a thing going on, huh? Rest in peace dear sister. Bette

Dear Toney Family,
Condolences and deepest sorrow. We pray that God's mercy gives you the strength to accept Barbara's "home going". She has been reunited with her many predeceased heavenly angels including my mother Nellie Allen. Their earthly friendship lasted over 75 years and now they are reunited again in eternity.
