I have loss my sister that I always wanted as a child. God finally answered my prayers and sent her to me over 60 years ago. I will miss her so much and will always have a void in my heart. Sylvenia Collins

Dear Ivy,
I am so sadden to hear of your mothers death. She was such a loving, caring Christian woman whose light shined to all who met and knew her. She was always kind to my mother, Esther Johnson when we visited St Philips. I can only image how difficult this is for you but know that others share in your loss. May God bless you and your family, you are in our prayers.

So sorry to hear about the passing of my beautiful friend Thommie. She was such a refined and sophisticated lady that will be missed by so many. I will always remember her warmth, kindness, and sense of humor.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I was also one of Thommie's co-workers at Customs. She was always professional and only had pleasant, encouraging words for all. Will keep you all in prayer.

My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. May prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you, and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father, who loves us, comfort your hearts and "make you firm". (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17)

Ivy,
Although we cannot be with you today of all days, our hearts and minds are filled with love for Mrs. Washington and you. What a role model and friend your mom was. No one was ever more important than the person with whom she was speaking. We are sure she is at the 19th cheering us all on. We are all the better for having had her grace our lives. May you find peace and joy in the morning.

Ivy,
My prayers are with you during this time of your loss. May God comfort you with his peace. With loving thoughts and deepest sympathy.

My deepest condolences are extended to the family of Ms. Thommie. She will forever be remembered by all.

Dear Ivy,
Your mom was one of a kind, so friendly to all, she was a dear friend as well as my co-worker for many years. Truly she's resting in peace, dressed and looking good for the lord. I was sorry to hear of her death, she will always be remembered and you keep those good memories in your heart.

God Bless you and your family,

We will forever cherish Ms. Washington's decades long friendship with Wilhelmina, Corky's mother, including her accompanying his mother to Arizona for his retirement from military service. Ms. Washington always embraced and inspired us with her love and caring, especially during our visits to DC, including one visit when Corky was able to enjoy a scrumptious meal with her and Ivy at her home. We pray Ms. Washington's grace, beauty, love, and God filled memories will sustain all whose lives she touched and give Ivy the strength needed to endure the loss we all feel. Rest in peace in God's arms as one of His great and faithful servants, Ms. Washington.

Ivy, I am so sorry to hear of Tommie's passing! She was one of my dear "other mothers." I will miss her. You have my deepest condolences.

Ivy,

I am so sorry to here about the passing of my co-worker and friend. Your mother was a jewel at the U.S. Customs Service and was well respected.

Your mother was a praying woman so I know that she is in the arm of the Lord.

Love, Mrs. LaVerne Williams

Ms. Thommie - was a beautiful woman and greatly appreciated. I planned her retirement party (CBP) and the gratitude she expressed to me, spoke volumes. She remembered that day so well, that over a year ago I ran into Ms. Thommie and she announced to a friend of hers that I was the lady that put together such a beautiful retirement party for her. I will forever remember her and her kindness and laughter.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the Most High God comfort you as you mourn the loss of your loved one. (Psalm 83:18)

Ivy,
I am so saddened at your loss. Your mom was a real dynamo, and I'm so glad you and her are in my father's life. This is a loss for us all. God be with you in this stressful time - may you find joy and peace in the lasting memories you have.

Tommie has been a dear friend to me and my family for many years. She will be truly missed. She was kind hearted and selfless and exhibited the true virtues of a Christian. I will miss you my friend.

Aunt Thommie - You are loved and will be missed. Thank you for being such a fine example of a strong, independent, God-fearing black women.

I always looked forward to seeing Ms. Tommie when she worked at Customs. I always said, "I want to be like Ms. Tommie when I grow up."
She will be missed by all.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. ROMANS 15:5.
