My God comfort all her loved ones.
We send our love and sympathy to you. Mamie blessed our family in many ways. She helped Wanda take
care of Mama’s needs before Nancy and I retired.
May God bless you for being there with Mamie during this time. You truly showed your love for her. We are
very sorry that we will be unable to attend her funeral. Our prayers are with you. Gene & Marquean
