To the Booker Family, My prayers are with you. Seeing Beulah's picture brought back memories of living next door to her on Van Trump St. She was always a beautiful lady. She and my mother became real good friends and she spoke of her often. Keep God first and continue to pray and he will see you through this trying time. Patricia Morris-Morton (Ms. Mamie & Mr. Shorty's oldest daughter)
