My deepest sympathy to your family. I will miss Miss Katherine, she was one classy lady!
Sincerely,

Nanny Lolita, Pop-Pop,& Shawn,

I am truly sorry for your lost! Nanny was more than a great-grandmother to Kai. She was a grandmother to me, a friend and a personal angel. I am honor to have had the privilege to known her for the past fifteen years. I took her passing really hard, but I know that God doesn’t do anything wrong in life. He allows us a certain time to share our wisdom, talent, passion, time, and love with others. I think back and remember when I first met Nanny. She welcomed me into her life, home and family with open arms. She had a style out of this world; she was intelligent,classy,sophicated,and outgoing. Whenever she would come to visit, we would sometimes discuss wigs,cooking and the bible. She loved me for who I was, even though I didn’t look or cook like a traditional southern girl (smile). She had a way of making you feel great about yourself. Kaieshia loved her dearly; especially  all of the visit to and from Pa.The time that they spent together watching movies, shopping, cooking and talking with each other will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to attend the service today due to the weather. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. I know that she is looking down from heaven today and smiling upon us. She was truly an angel here on earth; now we can add the title of God’s Angel to her resume. Nanny Katherine, rest in peace and we will missed you! We know that you are in a better place and you will always be in our hearts. If the family needs anything, don’t hesitate to call.

Love Always,
Kaieshia & Lisa
