I am very sorry to hear of the death of your mother. She lived a long life and will continue to live with God and in your thoughts. It has been 9 years since we lost my Mom. There are still tears but lots of happy memories. May God's love speed your healing. Our families have lost touch over the years but I still think about each of you.

To All The Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of Miss Berdie Mae. She taught me a lot when we went to New Hope together and by the way she lived outside the Church. She is one that Walked The Walk & Talked The Talk when it came to her Lord Jesus. She Showed Me What a True Hearted Christian Really Is. She is Shinning in Glory Now, "Praise God"
You Will Miss Her, but A Smile Will Come To Your Face Everytime You See Her Sweet Face in Your Thoughts & Memories, I Know It Will Mine, Because She Seen To It With The Life She Led For Jesus. May God Continue To Bless Each One Of You. I Have You Covered In Prayers. I'm sorry I can't be there with you. God knows I wish I could. I Love & Miss You All. Please send me pictures of everyone. MAY GOD'S PERFECT PEACE COVER EACH OF YOU AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS SEASON.
Love To All
Your Sister In Christ,

Granny,
We all will miss you. We love you and know you are in a much better place. I remember when I was a little boy and would come see you. Id sit in your lap and wonder, "why does granny have these wrinkles on your hands?" That memory always puts a smile on my face. I love you so much Granny.

Granny,
You will be SO missed by many. I so enjoyed all our talks, especially all our talks "about me being careful about having all them babies". You were such a blessing to me in more ways than you will EVER, EVER know.. Your legacy WILL CARRY on in my heart and my life forever, and I know into the lives of many, many others. You are truly loved, and I respected and loved you soooo much.
To the family, my heartfelt prayers go out to each and every one of you.
Love you all very much,
