My prayers and condolences to the family. May God bless you with peace and comfort.
My condolences to you and the family. Ms Mattie was like an auntie to us. She and momma were great friends, she used to babysit my baby (Trielle) she always had something nice to say. Her and Momma would always just sit on the porch and talk.She is now resting until Jesus comes back to take her home. Her work is done and her life demonstrated Jesus, she was a giving, kind and sweet lady. Who ruled with an iron fist. She will be missed. We Love You All!
Thank you for raising me. Thank you for being an aunt and a grandmother to me. The last time I saw you, I knew it would be my last time but I was overly happy that I got to see you a couple weeks ago. I will NEVER forget you. Every time I came down south, I would always make sure to stop to see you and the family. May God welcome you with open arms <3.
My condolences and prayers to you all. Love Willie Jean McCray Singleton and Family: Brooklyn NY
