Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

As a kid growing up next door to Mrs Essie Mae was like having a second home. I watched her mother her own family and sometimes my sister and me. I can still smell those fried smoked sausages she always cooked for breakfast. Loving memories never die. Sending love and prayers to the family. Barbara Wyche Anderson

If Roses Grow in Heaven By Dolores M. Garcia

If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away. Ivorette Cooper

May God comfort you at this time, condolences to the family, we love you all Jimmie and Pamela Thorne
