WHAT A TIME, WHAT A TIME, WHAT A TIME...............That's all I can sing in my heart when I think of Miss Ola Mae and my mother Miss Stozel James. The two worked together a looonnng time ago. They worked their fingers to the bone from week to week, "I mean 7 days a week" with very little rest. They would hold each other up and help each other out when the other couldn't do too much. They wept for a long time.



Praise be to GOD!! for the joy that he allowed her to have before she departed this life. she didn't have to work anymore, her beautiful children pitched in and took care of their "WONDERFUL MOTHER."



That's children are suppose to do for their parents.



Miss Ola Mae took time one day and told me the story of her and my mother. I'll never for her and I'm sorry that I didn't get to talk to her while she was sick. I didn't get word until the last minute.

Dear Family,

Your dear loved one stayed only as long as God could spare her. Miss Ola Mae was a sweet person and always had a smile and solid advice. We will miss her but we know we will all meet again in the sweet by and by. Every day will be like Sunday afterwhile. Prayer is the key to the kingdom and faith will unlock every door.
