I going to miss Aunt Topsy greatly. She was one of the sweetest women ever. And she loved my children Leila and Wesley. We love you Aunt Topsy.
Alma always had a smile and a kind word. I’ve never seen her angry and I’ve never heard an unkind word. She will be missed by all that ever knew her. Ron, I will be praying for you and your family. Lean on the Lord and He will help you through this. We can’t bring Alma back, but we can go be with her in heaven! Praise the Lord!

My mama loved God, her family, and friends more than anything. She had a lifelong passion to go to heaven and now she’s there with everyone. While I’ll miss her every single day for the rest of my life, I will see her again when I get to heaven.
Everyone leaned on mama for advice and she gave them Godly advice every single time. We now have her wisdom to use and pass along to others.
I love you mama!

Our time together was 3 months. But Our lives were relived by both of us. The good, the bad, happy, sad.
But we survived and became very best friends.
My love for you will never go away, you will be there for me when we meet again.
I love you Alma. God Bless you!!
