Mavis and I talked nearly every week. She was always genuine and thoughtful - our conversations often punctuated by her girlish giggle. She shared with me memories of a happy childhood, including her father giving her a horse. She loved Westerns and cherished her daughter Trina. Rest in peace, dear lady. My sincere condolences to Trina and the family.

It was such a joy to know Mavis. We shared many laughs as well as more serious moments. There were stories that were tough for Mavis to tell, because they were not joyful, but in the fullness of time, we laughed together about them. It was a privilege to know my friend Mavis. May God bless her and her family.
