My deepest sympathy to my cousin Inez's family and friends. Inez was my closest friend at this time in my life. We talked a couple days each week. We loved talking about our childhood experiences. Her father and mother were wonder people and I love discussing my childhood experiences at their home. Inez and I were baptized on the same day and same church as well as her sister, Celeste! We love our extended family and enjoyed reminiscing.I know she is in heaven with all our family who love her. My prayers are with Rev. Thomas and his family as well as Anglia and her family. Sending them my love and bessings.πππ

A Proverbs Woman She walked in grace, clothed in strength unseen, A quiet wisdom in all she'd been. Her hands built homes, her heart poured love, A life that pointed us upwardβabove. "She is clothed with strength and dignity," The Word declares what we all could see. She smiled at days both tried and true, Trusting the Lord in all she'd do. (Proverbs 31:25) Her children rise and call her blessed, Her love a place of sacred rest. Her counsel gentle, firm, and kind, God's truth forever on her mind. "She opens her mouth with wisdom," we say, "And faithful instruction lights her way." (Proverbs 31:26, 28) She feared the Lordβher greatest crown, Yet beauty and grace in her abounded all around. Her smile reflected heaven's light, A living testimony, warm and bright. A woman whose beauty flowed from within, And shone through the life she lived in Him. (Proverbs 31:30) Now heaven holds what earth must release, A soul made whole, a spirit at peace. "Well done," we hear our Father say, As angels rejoice and guide her way. (Matthew 25:23) Though tears may fall and hearts feel torn, We grieve with hope, not left forlorn. For to be absent from this place Is to be present in His embrace. (2 Corinthians 5:8) A Proverbs Womanβlegacy sure, Her love, her faith, will long endure. Rest now, dear Momma Thomas, safe and free, Held forever in eternity. β₯οΈ Love you Momma Thomas, so grateful God allowed our paths to cross. I am so much better because of it.
My heart goes out to Mrs. Bethea, Reverend Thomas, and the entire family. I am praying that God's presence brings comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding during this time of deep sorrow. May His love carry you, and may her memory forever be a blessing. ππ½π€ β Sabrina Johnson and family

My deepest sympathy and condolences to my Cousin Inez's friends and family. My mother (Iva) was very close to Inez and spoke of her often they always managed to stay in touch until my mother's passing in 1997. I was able to connect and correspond with Cousin Inez through facebook and we exchanged messages for the last time on Christmas. I never met my Grandmother Inez Davis she passed well before I was born however I know she and my Mother will be waiting in Heaven to greet Cousin Inez and congratulate her for all her accomplishments in life and all the love and kindness she spread during her time on Earth.
Our Deepest Condolences For the Loss Of Your Dear Mother she will always β€οΈ be loved and missed.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
