    I am impressed with my first cousin's life. I didn't get to see her much but thought of her often. Angie, she told me about you when I saw her in McComb Mississippi a couple of years ago. She was so proud of her family. You have my sympathy and prayers.
    Love, Wilda

    Ms Angie,
    It was a true pleasure getting to know this sweet lady. I will continue to cherish the poise and grace she possessed. Her love and kindness will forever shine in all she touched. I love you and am praying for healing strength for you during this time.

    Angie,

    I have fond memories of visiting your family in the 1960’s, when you lived on W. Chippewa St. Aunt Mary Louise was always welcoming, friendly and fun! I also remember your mom as a very gracious southern lady, who loved to play games with us outside and on the big wrap around porch. While she is sure to be sorely missed, I know her legacy will live on.

    Very sincerely,

    David Young

    I’m so very sorry to read this. Ms Mary Louise was one of the sweetest ladies I ever knew. She and Margaret Jones were two of my favorites at FBC. She was beautiful, kind, and so thoughtful. Prayers to Angie, the family, and her close friends. I know she will be greatly missed.
