My heart is so saddened that you had to leave us. I thought you would come through like you did so many times before. Thank you for being a pillar in the community and church. You were a TRUE example of a church mother; one who loved and encouraged others. Thank you for loving me, and all of us Canady kids, thanks for nourishing us, and teaching us. You were certainly a major part of our upbringing; and simply one of the best “Moms” ever. Forever loved, and forever in my heart…Kaye❤️❤️❤️

It is with great sorrow that a beautiful jewel has left us. I will never forget the fond memories and phone calls we shared over the years. To my "sisters" Mattie, Cleola, and "Tine", you have my prayers and sincere condolences. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
