Addie,
Heaven gained a special lady when you left this world. Though you are no longer here with us in the physical form, you will always be with us in spirit. I will always remember the kindness you showed me and how you always made me feel welcome in your home and as a part of your family. May you rest in eternal peace.
Love always,
Stephen
So sorry to hear of Addies passing. I worked with her for several years at CII. She was a very sweet,special lady. God Bless the family.
RIP Addie, so sorry for the loss of such a sweet person. I will pray for the family.
You’re exuberant with your mother’s amicable qualities. Aunt Addie has raised up a very kind, caring and thoughtful son! I want to say, THANK YOU!! For all you’ve done helping aunt Addie and what you continue to do for Uncle Jerry as it does not go overlooked!! It’s not an easy task being a caregiver for one parent much less for two ailing parents, and you’ve done this for many years now and I haven’t heard you complain one time.
I am praying for you and when the time is right I pray you come and visit us at the Church. We’d love to have you and I believe you’ll enjoy it! May you continuously strive to be the same person that I’ve been blessed to help the past few days! I’ll miss aunt Addie Mae and I know how painful it is to let them go! But, I’m thankful that I know where she is and that I have a promise to be with her and our many other relatives in Heaven when my time comes. That provides peace and comfort like nothing else can! Remember this scripture- Psalm 34: 17-19 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Here for you in the upcoming days and years if you need me! Love ya cuz

Clell, I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain of losing momma. I am amazed at how well you took care of her and Jerry and the time and patients you have dedicated to their needs. I know she is so proud of you. She was such a kind person and I will forever miss her smile. She has passed her kind spirit on to you and I am so grateful to have you as my family. I love you very much and if you need anything just call….and I mean that. Praying for you cuz. love you.
