Mother Meeks were very unique, I love listening to her minister the word of the lord. She would give you copies of her study sheet if need be. She wanted to make sure you understood the word of God, she was a runner and dancer, just a Holy Ghost filled anointed, blessed woman of the lord, she would spread love and joy wherever she went.Blessings to the family 💕

I remember when we moved to Dewey Street on the same night that started a lifetime friendship. I remember the importance of reading shared with Christian love during my childhood. You will be greatly missed. My sympathy goes to the family.

I loved that Momma Meeks always had a word to give and a dance for the LORD. She helped raise so many of our children with her words and correction and kept them in line at church. Especially my boys and I loved it. She will forever be loved and missed.
