  10. Dear Irene, I remember so well your
    sweet, sweet mother as we were growin up in Macedonia Baptist Church. She had the most beautiful
    smile. And always was so kind to all the young people. I so much wish I had known where she was, would have loved to have heard her
    wonderful stories again. We’ll all
    see her again in heaven.

  11. My first memories with Ms. Crawford took place in church where she would make dolls out of kleenex to help pacify me during service; Taking care in helping me name them after those we learned about in Sunday School class.

    She was a fantastic teacher, mentor and loving friend. I hope that during this time, her family finds comfort in knowing that she helped shape so many lives in the community, including my own. For this, I am truly greatful.

    Love and blessings,
    Natalie
