Sorry for the loss of such a nice lady…she will be missed.
My grandmother "Billie" as she was known to close family and friends is actually survived by her four children, eight grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren. Her legacy of descendants spreads all the way from New Mexico to Massachusetts and she will be sorely missed by all.
I love you so much and will never forget
I am sorry for your loss of Ellington. Jesus said at Matthew 5:4 ‘Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted.’ Especially in this time of sorrow, ‘cast your anxiety upon Almighty God because he cares for you’. 1 Peter 5:7
Our hearts are heavy for Willie’s family. May you feel the love and comfort of God at this time. In His love, Ludie and Leon Courtney
Helped raise me, and pushed me on a swing when I needed a lot of attention.
Sorry for your loss
