Goodness momma, I am still missing you everyday.At no point did I ever entertain the thought of you not being around. Everything is changing since you passed, nothing will ever be the same. You played such a big role in mine and the kids' lives. I never understood how big until you were gone. Of course I am happy that you are no longer suffering, I had 48yrs with you to reflect on and that is a true blessing. I guess time will make it easier but I don't know. I love you so much, I just don't see how. Please continue to watch over us and let your presence be known. Love you forever and always--Neisy

Memories I have of you as a child are dear to my heart. Thank you Auntie for all the sleep overs you allowed me and my daughters. Forever grateful 🥹 💗

Family, may your memories of such a sweet lady live forever within your hearts and bring comfort, peace and laughter. May God be with you all in the days to come, Lisa Michelle Simpson, St John's Missionary Baptist Church.

God knows I am going to miss you!! Thank you so much for loving and taking care of me and the kids the way you did. You will always be a peace of my heart and forever in my mind. There are plenty of memories we made and I will never forget any of them. You are the strongest woman I know. You definitely held our family down. They don't make them like you anymore. Love you forever momma. -Your Neisy

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
