One great Lady. I loved her and only new here for such a short time while visiting my mother at the Oaks at Forsyth. She was so thoughtful of everyone and so sweet and nice lady. She loved her son Stephen.

I've known Ms. Maxwell for several years. She was always wanting to know "how are you?" She never worried about herself too much.
She was a fine lady.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Savannah when we started attending St. Clement's. She was a devoted parishioner and a wonderful lady. I will miss getting a 'friendly reminder from St. Clement's' about lay ministry duties at church.

We thank you for allowing us to know a great lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God Bless You All. Just put you faith in him. Cherish the memories and continue to live the legacy she left you with.

I am honored to have been one of Savannah's friends - we always sat together at church and she would introduce me and the others on our row as "pew partners". Her dedication to St. Clement's Church was exemplary. She will be missed, but I'm sure St. Peter will be thrilled to have a "friendly reminder from St. Clement's" coming through the pearly gates.
