A true lady who always smiled. Have know Alrie since I was a baby and went to Grandma Roxie Rhymer’s down the road from Ralph and Alrie. Never heard a bad word against her and all those years at Macadonia will never be forgotten. Love and prayers to the family. May God Bless.
To my beautiful grandmother whom I’ll always love and know as ‘Grandmommy’. I will cherish always the memories we had together. The lessons you taught me were invaluable and the love you showed me was resolute. You will be forever in my heart.
Love Always,
