Prayers go out to the Tanner and Byron family. Syl treated John Wesley like he was her own grandson, she was a blessing to him and he loved her. Whenever he was in town he always made a bee line to see her. He can't be here for her homegoing service, but know he sit on the phone and cried like a baby with me the other night. I said I know she was special to you and you liked her, he quickly corrected me and said I loved her like a grandmother. Praying for peace and comfort in the days ahead. Many blessings, Labrina Harris!

Praying for my beautiful family 🙏🏽

As I sit here thinking about my cousin Seal and reading the words of comfort and memories I can relate to all of them because she was everything that was said and so much more. I grew up with Seal and I can say we were all very close as children but as we grew up and became parents we were not together as we were. The thing that I remember most about Seal was the last time that I saw her and I asked her was girl do you still eat a stack of white bread with your pinto beans 😆 she an I both laughed as she said yes. I loved my cousin and I will miss that sweet smile but to God be the glory because he said in his words that he would put no more on us then we can handle so sleep on my sweet sister and cousin until we see each other again 🙏🏽🥰
