  1. She has been my Mother since I was 5

    years old. Mama had a great sense of

    humor and love to tell her stories and

    laugh, and she was also very quick to

    cry. Very warm and sincere. I will miss

    her.

    I know she was ready to go home to be

    with God. She has spent her whole life

    preparing for this Day.

    I Love ou Mama,

    June/my childhood name.

  2. My Sympathy to all.Though I never knew her, She was wife to my Dad’s cousin.

    My Dad was Loss Wiggs. I got the message from J . Shellhorse recently that she was near death.

    May God bless and comfort each of you.
