You have our sympathy. Your mother fought for a long time and now she is resting with Jesus and smiling with Mr. Higgins and Michelle. Find peace in knowing if she had the choice to stay in heaven or return to Earth, I am confident she would choose to stay in heaven. Miss her, but let her go...She was an icon in our community and she will always be remembered..

Sincerely,
The Family of the Late Mrs. Ruthie Mae White-Rainey
