I would just like to say thank you to everyone that had a hand in the great dinners and all of the kind words that have been expressed throughout this time. Truly my grandmother was a well liked person as is obvious by the many friends that were present at the wake and funeral. God was truly honored as was Mee-Mee by everything that was done and said. It was great to see so many of you after so many years. Again, thank you for making this such a sweet memory.

Dear Carolyn & Michelle, I was so sorry to read on the Internet about your Mother passing away. I was the secretary at Martha Elementary School when she was the cook there. She was a good friend as well as a good cook. I live in Summerville S.C now and have been here for 11 years. She was a very good person and I am sure she will be welcomed in heaven.
