Mother- thank you for the leadership, spiritual guidance, entrepreneur spirit and strong faith which has led to us having a solid foundation in Christ and becoming productive members in this world. You were indeed a forerunner and a trail blazer in Cleveland, Atlanta and Kentucky! You always led by example!! Thank you for giving me that strong push on my new yellow bike without training wheels and when I lost my balance and fell off the bike you said, "boy you get back on that bike and you better not cry". Lol. I thank the Lord up above for the perfect and awesome Mother!! Like Belinda said you go ahead and cut your step in Glory because in heaven they are jammin!! Johnny
One of the memorable moments is one of the times I visted my mom in Atlanta and she told me not to bring a live baby cow. LOl
I love you mother and will miss you cut a step for me in Jesus name. Belinda
Marjorie "M'Auntie" Pannell was my aunt. She let me call her M'Auntie. She had several rental properties and a rooming house. She used to have a little dog and cute black and white cow motif all over her kitchen. I remember driving her to the mall for dinner one night and she got really anxious. I asked her if she would feel better in the back seat and she just laughed and laughed. She had such a lovely laugh. I will miss her dearly.
