To a beautiful soul and very sweet person always in our thoughts and prayers
Mari Drechsel says
I cannot find the words to express how I feel, but I know that you are no longer in pain and suffering. I know that you are finally home Heaven, at last, and reunited with grandpa, great grandma and great grandpa, and you have met our savior, Jesus Christ. You are happily walking those streets of gold and looking down upon all of us and watching over your family. Thank you for all of the great memories you gave us, the life lessons you have instilled in all of us, and thank you for being the best grandma to us. Christmas Eve won’t be the same without your chicken and dumplings, your Ambrosia salad or your little ceramic Christmas Tree; my biscuits and gravy will forever be known as “soup on a biscuit. Give grandpa a hug for me and know that I love you and miss you.

I loved Sis. Godwin. She was so humble and sweet. What a privilege it is to know a Christian lady like her.
Cousin Debra Skinnard says
To all of my cousins, I am deeply sad for the kiss of your mom. Aunt Virginia will always hold dear memories for me. She was a strong yet gentle woman who loved all of her children and cared deeply for my mom, her baby “Sister” and her children too. I am so sorry I can not be with you to say goodbye. But then again, it isn’t really goodbye, just
” until we meet again.”
May God our Father comfort you with His loving embrace.
So sorry for your loss says
Enjoy Heaven, Love Barbara and Emily Dobson says
