Auntie was a beautiful lady with a wonderful smile and lots of laughter. She always welcomed us into her home and was a joy to visit. Me and Mark loved going to see her and enjoyed every visit. She will be greatly missed. A true Southern lady indeed! ❤️

My Auntie was a beautiful light in my life. Every minute was memorable and she made an awkward little boy feel very special. Her love and influence are largely responsible for me being the man I am today. Her strength and independence are a source of inspiration. I will always be grateful for your love and kindness.
