To the Family, a mothers’ love is alive forever. In lessons she taught, the patience she gave, and in the hearts of the children she raised. Our prayers go out to you in this time of great sadness. Hold on to precious memories.
My mom use to live next door (1091 S. Champion Ave) to Ms. Momma Betty and Ms. Carolyn When i was a kid. No need to the say the influence they had on my life even after my mother moved. I always thought of them and the small things they taught me as a young man listening to my elders. Im so appreciative to have known them and had the opportunity to reconnect with Ms. Carolyn and let her see how i had grown into the man i am today. Back then it took a village to help raise kids and im glad she was part of my village. Much love and always respect ❤️
