My prayers are with you as you say goodbye to your precious mother. Aunt Alese was one of the nicest people I've ever known. I've always loved and admired her for her kindness and her gentle spirit. I have so many good memories from my childhood when we visited all of you in Savannah. In recent years, when I did see her, I felt loved by her in such a sweet way. I've been blessed to see the special relationship she shared with her brother, my dad, who loved her so much. I think of her often when I'm cleaning my house; she set a standard for housekeeping that I'll never attain! Your mother loved all of you so very much. I'm thankful that she knows our Savior, and is in His presence. My prayers are with all of you, With much love, Cyndy

When I was young on Isle of Hope, I remember Alese for her beauty and kindness. She married my brother's friend and whenever Buddy came to town for a visit, Alese and Buster would come to our house. She always took time to talk with me and, for an young pre-teen, this was very important to me. My condolences to her family. I believe you were richly blessed to have her.
