"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ So sorry to hear about Ms. Mary. Ms. Mary was our neighbor for 10 years until we moved. We lost touch but reconnected and how lovely it was to talk about the memories when we lived next door. She adore our children and they loved her as well. Every time she went to the grocery store, she brought back a pack of cookies for the children. She was invited to their birthday celebrations. We used to go next door and sit and talk for a moment while she enjoyed the children. She loved caring for her pets. She was like family and so very kind, but spoke her mind and a wonderful neighbor. Ms. Mary you will always be thought of fondly and cherished in our hearts. Our condolences and prayers of comfort to Mr. Harry and Family. From Pam and family.

To Harry and family thoughts of loved ones give a sweetness to remembrance. May the healing hand of time help to ease your sorrow, and may your precious memories help brighten each tomorrow. Ms. Mary and I meet a long time ago, she was a very dear friend and a very special person I loved her like she was family . I will miss her. Ethel Green & family.

Tribute to Ms. Mary

From the moment I met you, Ms. Mary, you were like a grandmother to me. We'd sit out on the porch and laugh together, just enjoying each other's company. Every week, we would eat from Pauline's, your favorite restaurant. I would get your favorite macaroni and fried cornbread. And I can't forget about your love for KFC, especially the mashed potatoes and gravy.

Whenever I brought the food in, you'd ask, "Shirley, how much I owe you?" And I'd always say, "I got it." Then we'd go sit on the front porch and wait for your friends Ms. Virginia, Ms. Earnestine, and Loretta to come by. On Tuesdays, we had our prayer and singing time with Ms. Earnestine, and every time, she'd ask you to close with a scripture.

Last Sunday, I couldn't make it to church, so I came to see you. When I got there, you were breathing differently. I asked the young lady there to wipe your mouth and turn you on your side. I started singing to you and clapping my hands. I can't even tell you what I was singing, but I just sang from the heart. And I asked God not to let you suffer and to give you peace and rest.

You closed your eyes and gently went to sleep. I knew in my heart that you were gone, so I just sat there with you until the doctor came in. When she checked you and said, "I don't think she's breathing," I broke down in tears.

I'm going to miss you so much, Ms. Mary. Thank you for the laughter, the prayers, the porch talks, and the love. You were truly special.

Love Shirley 🕊️

Our relationship with "Mrs. Liz" began at least 25 years ago when she cared for our son after school, Thomas Rashid. Mrs. Liz lived around the corner from us and we could view her back yard from our porch. Over the years our bond and love grew stronger as she loved on our grandson, Thomas, IV., now 10 years old. She always showed him love & had special treats for him. We celebrated many holidays and birthdays with Mrs. Liz. She was OUR FAMILY and we did all we could to show her LOVE & SUPPORT over the years. She loved us, but REALLY loved my husband, George, calling him, "My Boy." George ran errands, picked up her meds, was at her beck and call, and of course, brought her weekly favorite, Saturday Fried Fish Dinners. Mrs. Lis was a "snazzy"dresser, wore beautiful hats (crowns) and stepped with authority until her health began to fail. We loved Mrs. Liz and thank God she was a part of our lives. Rest on, Mrs. Liz. You fought a good fight, now, the Victory is Won. We Love You, Mrs. Liz, "George, Ida, Thomas Rashid and Thomas, IV"🙏❤️🙏

My condolences to the Williams family, Praying God strengthen your family
