I am reminded of scripture, For to be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD. To the Cotton family it was an esteemed honor to meet Sis. Cotton and learn of everyone through my dear Mother of the Church of days gone by, Mother Carl Cotton, Sr. from Maggie Street then later both our families making our trek to Weeping Willow. Sister Cotton I won't ever forget how she introduced my oldest brother his first restaurant mgt. job and he loved her home cooked spaghetti. She shared with our mother and I he was like a son and we laughed. The whole was a blessing to know and she learned of my restaurant experience may you all continue in her legacy. Elder Pamela Holt, Hannah Holt, Mother Mary Holt, and Min. Sedrick L. Sims, restaurant son.
