I was shocked when I just received the news of my cousin Savannah's passing today on 07/26/2019. I extend my deepest sympathy to her children-Vincent, Freddie, Bridget and Darrick as well as her grandchildren, sister's and brother's. Savannah Jean as we called her had a sweet soul like my mother her Aunt Doris Mackey. Even though Savannah and I did not see each other often, when ever we would see each other she would great me with a big smile and show love and affection. To all that loved and adored her, she will truly be missed. Heaven has gained another angel.

To the family the last time I talked to Jean she said she was ready to see Ms Savannah,and honey gal.I knew she was ready to go home and have a reunion with not only her family but her friend who was a Seminole diehard and she a Gator.They all should be having a joyful time at the Gate. I miss the smile and conversation, R.I.P thy faithful servant.

There are so many memories and times of laughter that I will forever hold dear because of the gift of love that you have always shared with every life you touched Auntie. Heaven has truly gained an "Angel".
To the family-- Aunt Gene meant so many things to so many people because she was a loving, wonderful mother, friend, confidant, aunt and many other crowns that she wore. Her memory will forever stay woven in our hearts.
Her smile was always the first thing that I saw, but a welcoming hug and a kiss from my auntie was always a part of our greeting.
I love you but God Loves You Best. Rest Peacefully Auntie in your Heavenly Home.
