I feel so sad right now. Just hearing of Pudding's passing. We normally reminisced about old times and family when we would meet in Walmart. Such was the case earlier this year. I will miss seeing her. Rosabelle Holmes.
I am Debra Hairston-Shelton from Ridgeway, I've lived in Charleston, SC for the past 46 yrs. I am the sister of Jeffery Hairston of Ridgeway. I went to elementary school, Richard H. Clarke and Carver High with Lillie and Carolyn Howard, both were just beautiful spirits. May God's Grace and Mercy be with Lillie's husband, children, grandchildren and her siblings. I remember Lillie being a very kind, humble and sweet school mate. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that Lillie is in God's arms.
Pudding was a beautiful lady inside and out. I have known her most of my life. Family you have my deepest sympathy.
