Dear Mattie and family, I'm so sorry for the lose of your beloved Mother. She was a sweet soul that will be missed by all that knew her. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Renee Holcomb

I shall cherish the memories of my sweet aunt --her warm heart, soft voice and loving presence. She has always received me with outstretched arms in my childhood; and, as I became as an adult--it never changed. Her melodious voice will forever linger in my soul/mind, as she often shared songs of Zion (Precious Lord", etc.) "Bless the Lord, O my soul for having known Jessie Jordan".
