Uncle Henry, Ralph, Brenda, family and friends. I was saddened to hear of Aunt Essie's passing. I want to extend my sincere condolences during your time of grief.

Of the many things I can remember about Aunt Essie, one thing in particular stays in my mind . . . . . . "The True Blues" which was our youth choir that she directed, and the song "Deep Down in my Heart".

Aunt Essie will truly be missed.

Love to the entire family.
