Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I worked with Momma Venus 20 years ago. She was such an amazing woman! I always called her Momma Venus because she was like a second mom to me. I was still a kid when I met her and she always made sure I was taken care of, helped me pay bills, taught me to balance a check book. (My mom was sick so she couldn't do much). She has and will forever be part of my heart. Sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

My sincere condolences to the Minter/Mason families in the passing of Venus. My thoughts and prayer are with you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. -De Yarda Darby

Venus the time has come for you to see Jesus. Enjoy your final rest. I hope your family will find peace in Jesus. Yours In Christ, Cheryl F. Houser

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