    My sincere condolences to all of the family. I missed her at church. I used to ask about the twins all of the time. I crocheted the pink blankets. She loved her family. May God keep you all strong. Love on each other. God bless.

    My thoughts, prayers and love are with my family today as Aunt Mas returns home. To my sister’s sentiment, I prayed this morning asking my Grandma Ruth to help her sister find her way back home. It was a just in case because we all know Aunt Mas already knew where to go.

    Her infectious smile, warm hugs, and caring nature will always remain in the beautiful women, my aunt and cousins, that she so graciously brought into this world.

    She was such a wonderful light in this world that will now shine brighter from above. Love y’all very much.
