Thelma will be missed by so many people she has helped recently and especially during the pandemic because of the elderly and neighbors she delivered food to in her neighborhood.  Also, she aided many mothers with children secure emergency housing.
I will miss my sister-in-law dearly.  Wishing the very best for her mother and son, Ethan.

Ethan,
My heart goes out to you over the loss of your beloved mother. She was my classmate at Memphis Theological Seminary, my covenant partner, and my dear friend. You are her pride and joy, and she spoke of you every chance we talked! May the love and comfort of God sustain you through this time! Blessings,
Michael Walker

Darnell and Diane,

My sincere condolences in the loss of your loved one.  May God bless and keep you and your family.

Ethan,
I was shocked to see the notice of your Mom's passing.  I spoke with her several months ago and she was so excited about her new job and life's journey.  She was a kind, generous and beautiful person and I will miss her friendship.  Please know that God is with you and your family and I pray you will find comfort in your memories.
