Collard greens, chicken n dumplings, thrift stores, instant coffee and evaporated milk, Saturday nights at your house for Sunday church, Certs candy, Windsong perfume, watermelon rind pickles, fried squash, home made clothes, Shasta sodas, you fussing a Papa to take the trash out.  But most of all, laying my head on your lap as you rubbed my head toll fell asleep. Last time I saw you, you reminded me a child is never too old for Grandma's lap.. Thank you for loving me 

Mama, your presence in my life kept me alive. Your passing will create a hole no one else can fill.
I love you

Anita and Tim and I called you Mama.you we're always there for us when my mother was too sick to take care of us. You told me once that my sensitive personality made you think I was  the one most like you. I couldn't think of a better compliment then being  considered anything like you. There not a day that I don't think about my mother and my grandson being in heaven. Now, I will picture you there holding his little hand and my mom holding the other. I love you so much.

Family sorry for your loss.I have many fond memories of the time I spent in summers with Aunt Doris.

Sis I loved you so much.We will meet again in heaven.
