...let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross... . Hebrews 12:2. Mark, your mom fought the good fight and ran the race. She finished strong. You and Marcy have run part of the race with her and shall be blessed for the love, care, and endurance that you displayed while caring for your mom. Be blessed my brother and know that she is with your dad and Jesus.

Paul and family, your mother was our mother, your loss is our loss. For years our families shared so much pain, sorrow, and JOY. Hurricane Katrina separate us in distance, but the Love we built over the years kept us together. On behalf of the Late Willie Hawkins, his wife and children wants you to know we love your family with an everlasting love. Your mother and grandmother will live as long as you let her life be reflected thru your life. She was a beautiful woman inside and outside, she had such a sweet spirit about herself. God Be with you and your family.

Grandma,
I just want to say goodbye to you and godpseed on your journey home to reunite with all those who have departed before you. I hope that you will always look down on me kindly with the same love, humor, compassion, heart and generosity you showed me in life. You always represented to me the epitome of a good person who did not allow the adversity to life to temper your good spirit, your sense of purpose, your love and devotion to your community and to your family. You are truly one of a kind and I hope to carry all that is good from you in my heart always. Your grandson always...... Love Ben.
