Harry and I express our heartfelt condolences during your time of bereavement. Please know that you were Blessed with a very special lady in one "Leola." From the time I met her in 1990, she was always special to me and our grandsons (Corey, Cedric, William and Robert). She was their church school teacher and always encouraged them to achieve. Harry and I lost our moms seven and six months ago, so we know what you are going through at this difficult time. However, each day will be a little better than the day before. Cherish your precious memories of her as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend.

My Dear Monique,
You and all of your family have my deepest sympathy. Margaret was a wonderful lady. I always enjoyed being around her and I always felt welcome in her home. She is in God's loving care now, but it will not stop us from missing her and her beautiful smile. I pray God will give you comfort and strength in the days to come.
With sincere sympathy.

How do you describe a real lady? If this question has ever entered your mind and you came in contact with Mrs. Snipe, your question would have been answered. Such grace and poise in every meaning of the words. My heart is very heavy as I write this but family, please know that the love your mother had was enough for everyone she came in contact with and that love will sustain as you go through this grieving period. Always keep your faith and trust in Christ...

To The Snipe Family

Words really cannot express the hurt
and/or pain that one feels upon losing a loved one. But as it is, we
all must. I truly want you to know that in time, It will get better. Everything happens for the "Good" of those who "LOVE" the LORD.
For forty plus years of my life,
from the old Francis Brown to the
New Francis Brown, there was always a Sister Snipe to lead, Comfort, teach, and chaperon the youth
of the church. She "DID" indeed touched and played a big part in the
lives of many.To all of you, I truly want you to know that she will be dearly missed. GOD bless each of you.The family will be in my prayers.
