A few messages from her granddaughters:
Mema always told us “You’re just the best there is,” well Mema you truly are the best there is! I know you’re in God’s hands and I will love you and miss you everyday.
Love your granddaughter, Courtney Morris
My Mema has taught me many lessons that I will continue to learn from even though she has passed, she truly was an amazing teacher and inspiration. She has left such a positive mark on my life and the lives of any which she touched. I will continue to strive in her example as she led such a full and meaning life, as a businesswoman and as a wife, mother, and Mema.
Love your granddaughter, Kristin Morris
