Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceIt was not only an absolute pleasure and honor, but equally a great joy to have been a part of Ms Whatley's (Grandma's) life. Certainly, she lived and fought the fine fight. There was nothing better than beginning and ending the day with a good, funny and sometimes exact word that needs to be heard from Ms Rachel. I often think of her and I'm sure many others do. She'd often be in prayer of had many talks of praise and gratitude that we'd often and quietly have the pleasure of listening to. Thank you for the time we had to care for and observe you. You're forever a treasure in our hearts.
Condolences to the family. Knew her from the neighborhood when I was a child. She was a very sweet lady
