Billy,Jerry and families
I am saddened that you have had to say goodbye to your strong and loving mother. Losing the matriarch is so very difficult as we all know - "there's only 1 Momma'. Doll has been a part of my life - ALL my life. I really am challenged that Aunt Louise and Doll are both gone to be with Jesus - only a few short months apart! My condolences to you all; as this loss is SO significant. Be Blessed and rest in knowing how special you must be in God's eyes for He gave your Mom longevity! I will always cherish my memories of Filmore. Deepest Sympathy

I'm praying for the Lamar family. This woman of God lived a long fruitful life. I'm happy that I attended her 100th birthday celebration. I was so late. I missed at least 70 % of all the speakers, presentations and etc. However, when I gave Ms. Jeanette Lamar her birthday card and I kept saying I was so sorry I was so late she said to me, " why you upset and stressing because I'm not be content and relax you made it and thank you so much for the card and coming to celebrate my 100th birthday." She made me feel good. Sincerely, Denise Berry
