My beautiful Aunt May, I loved you so much. I was born on your birthday I remember when I was a kid you used to tell me I was a birthday present from God. You taught me so much and love me in abundance. You taught me about God and took me to church. You were a truly amazing good Christian woman. You were a blessing to me. You will be missed by so many. I’ll see you again in heaven. God bless you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember good times working with her at the school district many years ago. She kept us youngsters in line back then. We also had great fun working with each other back then, I miss those days.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
