To the Rhodes, Brown and Terry family although I only knew Ms. Elizabeth for a short time. I know she was loving and caring my son Steven of whom she would call her buddy every morning on his way in for class .She would greet him with a smile and welcomed him into the The Rhodes home as one of her own I'm sure Steven will look for her in the mornings when he arrives to Mrs. Jonell for class. But Steven and I know she is in a better place. I know she will still see him in spirit. I will continue to pray for the family as I know she was a beautiful lady. Love Donna Howard and her buddy Steven Wright:) Rest on Ms. Liz I know you will be missed God Bless you and your family.

Terry, Jonell and Brown Family,

My heart was saddened when I saw online that Aunt Boo had passed. Her and my mother(Shirley Brunus Pichon) were more like sisters. My entire childhood I always enjoyed going by Aunt Boo. I am sorry I did not get to see her lately but I am very thankful that we did get to talk several times over the last couple of years. She will always be remembered in my heart as the sweet, loving person I have always know her to be. She always treated me like her real niece even though her and mom were just friends, but best of friends I must add. Terry, I know your heart is heavy now, but I know Aunt Boo raised you in church and you know how Great God is and that he will get you through these hard times. Jonell I also know how much she loved you like a daughter not just her niece, she always spoke of how blessed she was to have you and your family. She also spoke sooo much of her grandchildren. I know she was very blessed and happy. I am sorry I am not able to be there to comfort and support yall but know that my prayers are with you and all of the family and I send my love to you all. Be Blessed, be strong and hope to see yall soon. MY HER SWEET SOUL REST IN PEACE, AMEN. Aunt Boo I know you are now with Jesus but also that you are with my mother Shirley" YOUR FRIEND FOREVER" thank you for being there for her and myself. I love you.. Lita

To Terry George and the entire Brown & Terry Family. My Lizzie Boo as I've called her all my life and her "Pattie Labelle" as she'd call me was an inspiration and an encourager. She was a great singer in her own right with songs like: Walk on By Faith Each Day, It is Well, On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand" Liz was that adult that you could laugh with as well as cry. She was always ready to have fun and allow the children of St. John Divine, S E Regional and Christ Elite to do the same. Lizzie Boo, you've been a part of my life since I was six and you remained because the Lord allowed you to marry a great man, my Pastor Rev. Edward S. Terry, Sr. I know he's smiling because his "Ms Brown" has joined him. Sleep on Lizzie Boo take your rest, I won't say goodbye, I'll say goodnight. I'll meet you in that great gettin up morning. Terry George,Sr. hold fast to the memories and the teaching she gave and instilled in you. With all my love, "MAchele"
