Dear Christina and family,
I read your mother's obituary and knew that I had to write to let you and your family know that you have my deepest sympathy. I can remember how much you loved to talk about your family. (Remember all of our phone calls and letters). Please take comfort in knowing that you and your family are in my prayers. Love, Sherrell Campbell Nelson

Dear Family,
Know that God makes no mistake. Absent from the body means that Irma is present with the Lord. She is experiencing sweet rest and God knows best.

I was suprised when I read the newspaper on Monday morning to learn of your death. I remember your sincere dedication to Zion Olivet from the time I was a young todler in Sunday School. Your present will truly be missed. May the Lord watch over your family and comfort them during this time of need. To the family, now that God only picks the best flowers.
May the Lord Bless You!

Words can't describe how I felt the day that you left our family. One of the four sisters that holded our family together was gone and nobody could believe it. Mema you were always the one willing to help anybody whenever they needed it. Your house was always the hang out spot for the teens during the holidays. Know when holidays come who house do we go to? I will miss you so much, but I know who are smiling down on us and enjoying your other life on the other side. One day I will see you again!! I love you MEMA!!! Love your grand-niece, Tristan.
