Ronda, Was so sorry to read about your Mother's death. She and your Father did so much for the youth of Howard Community when I was a teen. I have square danced many a night with them. I was Jean Douthit and lived up the road from Howard Community Club. I was also sad to see that your father and brother had passed away. God bless you.

Rhonda, I was so sorry to read of your Mom's death in the Macon Telegraph. I was Mary Dell Henderson, who lived on the corner of Bass & Rivoli in Macon. I remember your whole family well..the wonderful memories of Howard Community when we were children. I live on the same corner as I did as a child. I lost my parents, Dell & Herschel Henderson in l992 & l993 at ages 93 and 96. Am happy you had your mother as long as you did! Sorry to read of Thomas & your Dad's death. If you are ever in Macon, please stop by to see me. May God bless you and your family.

It saddens my heart to know that Moma Pearl has passed, but, I am happy for her - because she is now in the arms of Our Beloved Jesus Christ and dancing the Ho-Down with her handsome Husband. I love her so much and will miss her dearly. I was her care-giver from 2002-2005 and will remain Her Best-Friend Forever.
