“ I so loved my Aunt Iris. I didn’t get to see her often in her later years but her older sister, my Mamaw, Joanna Ella Barksdale Coleman had that same loving spirit. She often talked of her sister. I never heard a cross word from her about Aunt Iris. When you saw them it was like getting a look into heaven. Her girls, like my grandmother’s girls were all so filled with Holy Spirit. My Mamaw always told me I reminded her of Aunt Iris. That was always treasured and I so strive to be if but a spoonful of her grace and compassion. I’m know there is a huge celebration going on in heaven. My sweet Daddy, her nephew Starkey, will be among the many celebrating Aunt Iris! As the song says,”I’m so jealous of the angels, around the thrown tonight. Prayers for her beautiful family. Sonya Coleman Smith ??♥️ ”
