My condolences to the family 🙏🏽
On behalf of the Rome Colored Main High School Reunion Committee we extend our Sincere condolences to the family..may the Lord bless and keep each and every one of you..
Tennis and Family, I don't know how to word this, my Sincere deepest Condolences. Prayer's will get you through, it's NOT easy losing your Parent, Parent's, or any dear Loved One. I remember as a young Child, you, and your Family lived across the street, from our Family. You moved away, never heard anything from you, I use to work with your Daughter; Francesca at Mannington, I'd always ask how you were doing? Tennis, Honey, take it one day at a time, keep those memories tucked inside your Heart!!!! It's going on 6 yrs. I still miss my Daddy, and Lord knows, my Momma also!!!!! I think of all the memories, of us being neighbors. I Love you; Tennis. May your Mother rest in eternal Paradise.
My condolences to Teenia and the entire family. My hope is that when my own final breath leaves me, I am blessed to have someone who has loved, cared for, and stood as firmly by my side as Teenia did for Phyllis.
Phyllis was surrounded by those who loved her, and she left this world in comfort. She now rests in perpetual peace, and there is nothing more sacred than departing with that kind of calm and completeness.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
