Dear Linda Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family. May your mother be resting in. Eternal Peace and Paradise. Dea Lynnette Hayes WMBC Bx NY
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mother and grandmother she was truly a special woman—kind, warm, and full of love. I will always remember her as the best cook, especially her collard greens. Please find comfort in knowing that her legacy lives on through the beautiful memories you hold, the meals she prepared with love, and the goodness she shared so freely with everyone around her. "Those we love don't go away—they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed, and forever in our hearts." Sending strength, comfort, and peace during this difficult time to my sisters, nephew, and godchildren—Linda, Karen, Darilyn, Marquise, and Jada. With all my love, Stacey Neely
Eliza and John where the most kind sweet people in the world. They cared for everyone and loved their family They were one of a kind. Grateful that my family and I had the honor of having them in our lives We where so fortunate to know and love them
I grew up with the Lawyer family and Mrs. Lawyer was a kindest hearted woman of God. My fondest memory of her was her famous Pineapple Upside Down cake. Rest well Mrs. Lawyer. 🕊️
