Add A Condolence

Sending my LOVE and PRAYERS to the Mason/Leverett family. Auntie Mil was always very welcoming and loving to me when I would visit her with Nicole (her niece). May God give you all peace and comfort at this time. Love Hadiya L. Allen

Mildred and my mother were friends for over 60 years. Every since I was born, Mildred has been a part of my life. From child to adulthood, I would always marvel at how her thumb could bend all the way back. She would show me every time I saw her:-) She was like a mother to me in many ways. Mildred, I love you and miss you. Edgar, I'm here in Atlanta. Let me know if you need anything. Praying for you and family. Love you too. Darrick Wilson

I was so sadden to hear of your loss. She was a beautiful caring person inside and always a welcoming smile. She was a kindred spirit, an advisor, a sidekick, a helper, a listener and a pal. She will truly be missed. As some people journey through life, they leave footprints wherever they go- footprints of kindness and love, courage and compassion, humor and inspiration, joy and faith, even when they're gone we can still look back and clearly see the trail they left behind a trail bright with hope that invites us to follow. Praying you'll be comforted with precious memories and God's presence to care during your loss. Carolyn Williams
