No words can ever express what you are going through at this time Michelle. Mamie was always a beautiful person that no matter what offered the kindest smile and gentle hugs. I will always remember her ushering at FBC Winchester and greeting you with a warm and friendly smile.

I worked with Mamie at sylvania and I have to say she was always a joy to be around. Professional when it was needed and one of the most personable Individuals I've ever met. Rest easy my friend, this cold evening seems a little cooler tonight.
You are in so many of my childhood memories. I always had so much fun spending the night with Marissa and you were always the best with me. You will be missed 💔
