Greetings and Blessings to all,
We send our deepest sympathies to all the family in your time of loss and rejoicing. Rejoice in the memories, the lovely gentle lady, who warmed the hearts and lives of many.

We had the pleasure of sharing her wonderful personality, at the ceramic and art studio. We were blessed to have her as a customer, but more, we found a friend. The commonalities of our lives, the laughter, love and friendship shall be long remembered.

Blessings as you go through one of life's challenging moments.
Susan and Catherine Elmore

Your father/granfather rented a room from my mother and father, Rose and Nelson Ruffin, on Fillmore Street when he first moved to the area to work. We later met your sweet mother and all of the children. I was so sorry to read in the Progress Index online that your mother had passed away. She was a sweet person and I know all of you will miss her. My husband Don and I will keep you in our prayers.
