Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at your time of sorrow. May you find comfort in reading 2Corinthians 1:3,4&7.

My sincere condolence and empathy goes out to the family. May God give you strength to make it through this time of grievances.

Ms. Essie Mae. You will be greatly missed. You were there when I was born!!! You were always cheerful and always spoke positive towards everybody. When we were little and you got burned, we stayed with you while Mr. D went to work. I made you a purse and shirt by hand. Do you remember? I know you do. You were suppose to give it back when I got married and had children. Married, but no children. There were a lot of days spent on our porch. You were there with momma when we were sick and all. Ture friendship and true neighbors. May your Soul Rest in Peace. You will be missed. Dianne Williams Johnson (16th Street)
