To Agnes, Georgia and Family:
Over 40 years ago, we had a small social club comprised of the Robinsons, the Tollivers, and the Manyfields. Your grandmother, Aunt Tee-Tee, your mom, and your Aunt Stella Cook were our mentors. Everytime I sing or hear, 'This little light of mine', it brings back memories of where I first learned the song. I grew up next door to Joan Tolliver. I am saddened to hear of your loss. Take solace in the happy memories that you shared with your mom and the knowledge that she is now with our Lord and Savior. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Fataher of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Dear John and Family:
My sincere condolence on the passing of Minnie. When I saw her picture, it reminded me of the "good-ole-days" on 25th Avenue where we all grew up and were all like "family."
I am sure this is especially difficult for your and your family during this season; but know that God will comfort your hearts and you will have great memories of Minnie.
Be blessed and you will continue to be in our prayers
THE "IRONS FAMILY"...Eula, Earmon, Lenny, Syrathia, Evie and Gerald.

To our Dear Friends Leon and Georgia and your Family,
It is with great sadness at the passing of Mother Bryant. But be encouraged:
1. Those like Mother Bryant (and my Grandpa Oliver Reese) who have passed through the Holy sanctuary of Greater St. James are shored up and filled with the Holy Spirit.
2. Always remember that Mother Bryant was Saved by our Lord Jesus Christ. She is now at Peace in God's Holy Bossom, where we all will have a Wonderous and Joyful, Holy Reunion with her, our ancestors, and each other!
God Bless You.
