Robert, Wanda, and Family, We were distressed to read about your Mother and we were surprised to find she was only four days older than Ole Joe Clark. In life we are never ready to lose our loved ones and particularly a Mother. The only possible comfort has to come from our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We will hold you in our prayers and just hope in some small way it does help to know others do care.
We will make sure June McCarter knows of this. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Joe and Zunita
May God comfort you all through this time of loss. So sorry that you have to go through this sad time. Its so hard to lose our loved ones.
Love & Prayers!

Mom, I miss you so much it hurts. You were the best mom in the WHOLE wide world!! I thank God I was blessed to have you as my Mom not just my mom but you were my best friend. Thank you for all the things you taught me and how I should always put God first. I look forward to the time that I get to join you and I will never have to say good-bye again. Just keep looking for me. Love you more than words can say.
I have so many great memories of all of us kids playing in mamaw’s yard, and her always reminding us to stay out of her flowers. She would say a prayer with us every morning. DNA doesn’t make you family the heart does, and in my heart she will always be my grandmother.. I’m so sorry for our loss. Marvin, Robert, Brenda, and Wanda I love you all. I bet her and Helen are chatting it up, cause I know they are together. Heaven gained another angel. I LOVE YOU MAMAW…….
