MRS. B. WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR THE KINDNESS AND LOVE SHE GAVE TO ALL. THERE WERE SO MANY FAMILYS BACK IN THE DAY THAT HAD DINNER AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF CREDIT SHE GAVE. SHE WAS A WOMAN OF HIGH STANDARDS AND OLD VALUES AND RESPECT SHE SAID WAS SOMETHING YOU EARNED AND SHE DEMANDED THAT FROM ALL THAT KNEW HER. IF YOU EVER UPSET HER, BELIEVE ME YOU DIDN’T LEAVE THE STORE UNTIL SHE SPOKE HER PEACE. NOW THAT I’M GROWN AND WITH CHILDREN OF MY OWN, I’M THANKFUL FOR THOSE LECTURES. IT MADE ME A BETTER PERSON AND A GOOD MOTHER. MY MARRIAGE OF 25YEARS I’M SURE SHE PRAYED AND MADE SURE THAT IT WOULD LAST A LIFE TIME, BECAUSE SHE CLOSED HER STORE AND SIGNED FOR ME TO GET MARRIED, JUST IN CASE I NEVER TOLD YOU MRS.B. I’M THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU DID FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES YOUR LIFE TOUCHED.
