Condolence: LOVE YOU, GRANDMA!! I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF THE TIME I HAVE SPENT WITH YOU. You taught me in 4th and 5th grade, prayed for me, sang to me and most importantly further instilled the Love of Jesus in me. I am so glad you can now clearly see, dance, and Praise our Heavenly Father in Heaven. Knowing that you are fully appreciated and loved. I'm so sorry so many people didn't see your worth in your final years. But I know they will reap a harvest of destruction for their actions. Say hi to my Grandma Gladys for me. Till I see you again I LOVE YOU

Condolence: "Sweet Mother Mary"
M- Is for Magnificent Mother to me, my kids, so many students, friends, neighbors, and the church.
A- Is for Always caring, loving, giving and praying and never giving up!
R- Is for Revival because mom loved to have church, sing, pray, preach, recite poetry, dance and watch Christian Television programs.
Y- Is for Youth because she loved teaching and training in the classroom and in her home.

I love you mom you were never a burden though some may have said it.. 96 years of life you gave to us all. Those that didn't visit or call missed out on your love and precious quality time, laughter, witty conversations and life learned lessons you shared from your heart. Thank you for letting me help care for you. In return I felt your for love me, and we comforted each other.

Condolence: God blessed me when he put "Momma" in my life, and I am a better person having known her. Momma taught me so much about people, life, and God. I will miss her dearly. Knowing Momma is now "running with Jesus and God" gives me some inner peace, and I hope it does the same for you. My heart goes out to each and every one of you! Momma loved you all! Cherish the memories you have of Momma and keep them close to your heart!

Condolence:
Please accept my sincere condolences for your recent loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I have always received comfort from the Bibles’ word at Philippians 4:7 which reads “and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus”.
I hope you can receive comfort from these words as well. Margo Simmons
