June 9, 2020 at 8:10 amMy loving Aunt Velma will be missed dearly. Aunt Velma was a true phenomenal woman. She was strong, determined, caring, giving, hopeful, hard working, believer, and straight forward. She was good listener and provided good advice to everyone. Auntie loved her family especially her children, and grandchildren. She was a champion for everyone. She loved the Lord and celebrated life with dignity and style. She will be forever a giant in our family for always rescuing those in need. I truly loved my Auntie. I will miss those long conversations and laughs we had. I will miss her support and love for all of us. The Lord blessed Auntie and she was so thankful. Blessings to my lovely Aunt in heaven. She will be missed dearly and always remembered for her love for others.

June 11, 2020 at 10:12 amSometimes it’s hard to understand and harder still to say, “Thy Will Be Done” when sorrow comes and Sadness fills our day, But faith was meant for times like these And if we take God’s hand with loving wisdom He will help our hearts to understand.
With Deepest Sympathy.
Mrs. Eleanor Mayes Johnson and Family
