My last visit with you was a hard one you shared how much you missed your husband and I sat there and listened as you poured your heart out about how you both met and all you've endured. After you spoke you smiled and as always you gave me something to carry with me always. I've known you since I was 7 and you have always been a beautiful pillar of knowledge and love in my life. Your beauty and your love for God was such a blessing to witness. I am thankful God allowed you to be apart of my life. You will be missed and forever remember by me. Until we meet again. Rest easy and enjoy your crown earned without a doubt. God bless you beautiful Queen of God. Praying for the family

I was truly saddened to hear about the death of Aunt Mae Letha. A great lady has left this earth but will forever be in our hearts. May God wrap his arms around her children and extended family at this difficult time.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 With Deepest Sympathy, Oliver Winkfield
An Eternal memory until we meet again my great Auntie! Those special memories will always bring a smile if only I could have you back for just a little while. The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain but you're forever in my heart until we meet again. I will always have you in my heart! I Love You.
