To Kent, Marvin, Steven, Troy, Vanessa & Dora. My love and heart felt condolences to each of you. I am sorry, and sad to hear that Miss Mary passed. But, I know that she is resting in the arms of the Father. We go back years to O.P. there was a lot of history (too much to write about). Take your rest Miss Mary, you will never be forgotten ❤️🌹🙏🌹😞 ❤️

Nana was a special gem and will be missed. There are so many great memories that I have from game nights to road trips to the casino playing the penny slots. The service was beautiful and I am praying for the entire family during this time. Nana is up above smiling over you all. Xoxo Deneika Morton

My Dearest Mother, Words cannot fully express the depth of my sadness. I will forever miss our morning phone calls — the ones where I'd tell you I was leaving for work, and you'd always ask if I needed a little extra change for gas or lunch. I'll miss hearing from you as you'd update me on the weather and traffic, always looking out for me in the smallest of ways. Me saying "I Love You" and your response "I Love You More". Though my heart aches, I take comfort in knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are now in heaven, rejoicing in God's embrace. I can hear Him saying, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant." You've earned your crown and wings, MaDear. I love you, always. Your Daughter Vanessa
