Auntie you will be truly missed. Your soft voice gentle heart and loving care of you always showed to others, especially the way you stepped in after mom died and became our other mother. That was the only way we were able to cope with her loss. I love you and would never forget you till I see you again my other mother.
I remember Ms Adams when I attended First Baptist, Earl. She was such a precious lady. Always smiling and taking care of those grands. Mary I'm sorry to know that she passed but I know that she is resting with Jesus.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
