I have known Mrs. Weeks for 10 years now.. She has been a great person to know in those years and has ALWAYS been in attendance at Oakwood United Methodist Church.. I sing in the choir and she just LOVED to hear us sing. My daughter Cheryl Locke loved her dearly and Mrs Weeks just adored her and always gave Cheryl and I a hug.. She will be dearly missed..
