Hi, Mom, I am not able to be there with you and my family to say a formal good-by, but you know that. Nonetheless,I see you one day on the other side. Words cannot express the gratefulness and appreciation I feel for you, neither can they define the thanks that I would love to give you for everything you have done for me. You have always been there for me, through right and wrong, and have shown me the way. I appreciate how you always worked so hard to show your love for us in the most selfless ways. Love You beyond Life, Your oldest daughter Faye

"Be sweet and loving to one another because you are all you have in this world." Kind words of wisdom that my sweet Momma taught us to live by. I love you, Momma Phyllis

My thoughts and prayers are with the Powell family, and especially thinking of you, Bessie Perkins, on the loss of your mom. She was a strong and wonderful person and you have been such a loving and supportive daughter to her. May she rest in peace. My condolences. Best regards, Catherine Popovici
