My condolences to her family. No doubt she is with our lord Jesus and her family that has passed. When I came to call on my friend Frankly she always invited me in the house. And was always very kind. God rest her soul.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of White Grandma, as my kids fondly called her. She was a remarkable woman who inspired me in countless ways. As her caregiver, she always encouraged me to prioritize my education and strive for a more promising career. Her loving and inclusive nature made her a source of inspiration and support to everyone, regardless of their background or race. My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family during this difficult time.
