There are no words to express how much I’m going to miss you. Spending time with you and the family during summer breaks. Some of my fondest memories were sitting on the porch just enjoying the nice summer breeze with family and friends . I can never forget the delicious lemon meringue pies you would bake and bring to Camp Shady Hill I looked forward to that every year . Throughout my adult life mom shared with me her love for God which blessed me in so many ways mom I love you and will miss you dearly. I anxiously await the big family reunion when God takes us all home to be with him. Family our prayers are with you during this difficult time love Norian and Samuel Reese
Always had good advice.
Ms. B (Too-Too),
From the old African Proverb: “It Takes A Village To Raise A Child”. Ms. B is the perfect example of the mother of our village we all should learn from. There is no way I will come close but in honor of Too-Too I will do my best to carry this on.
What an impact you have made on many of our lives, our children’s lives & our children’s children. You have been there for all of us & for that we are truly thankful and we were so blessed to have you in our lives.
Thank you so much my Sabbath School Teacher, piano teacher, neighbor, friend and most of all my family.
With much love to Too-too and the Boggess family!
Linda & Tina Clark & Family
Dear Boggess Family, Gertrude was the epitome of a great lady and one I will never forget. She took care of we McGrath girls in our early childhood, the late 40’s and early 5O’s. She taught me how to iron, to be neat and clean and so much more. I phoned her before she moved and we had a good conversation. She was having a good day. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. She will always be in my heart. Fondly, Pam McGrath.
Momma Tootie was such a special person in my life.she was my "Extra Grandma"...I have always heald her dear in my heart. My fondest memories ...Was listening to her many lifes stories....I remember her telling me that someone ran through her yard late one night n startled her so she grabbed her gun...and gave a warning to the individual n they shouted don't shoot Ms B...and told them who she was...when I asked her about how she got a gun she said it was a gift from her daughter.. Alona and she said believe me I know how to use it...We laughed so hard..I also remember the times she prayed with me during some difficult times in my teenage years , most of all I remember her loving spirit..Momma Tootie loved you with all her heart, just as she loved The Lord, whenever I visited her we got fed good, we always had worship. I remember sleeping on the enclosed porch...oh what a peaceful sleep it was....my heart aches now...but I am at peace knowing when she awakes in that Great Getting up morning she will meet her Savior...my prayers go out to Aunt Alona, Uncle Al, and Shawn. the all the family...
Oh How Wonderful She Was To Me!!
During my stay in Sedalia, Mo. I was so blessed to have had her as my Mother away from Texas. Sis. "B" was my awesome supporter, as I labored at Sharon Chapel SDA. I enjoyed her to the fullest. I was soon blessed to meet her faithful daughter Alona and her son LA who loved and cared for Mom. My Sabbath Service was also blessed my her daughter n law, Sis. Tina n her dear friend Sis. Alice.
Sedalia has lost a "JEWEL".
PRAYERS BEING SENT FROM TEXAS.
