Just letting you all know my prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time. Esther was a very kind and sweet woman. I know I will miss visiting her when I could get up to Oxford. She was always special to me. Love you all.

Dear Family, I am truly saddened by the loss of Big Mama. I have fond memories of her growing up with all of you in Berea. She lived a long life and I will always Remember her beautiful smile. I'm sure she is with Dorothy, Ed and daddy and all who are in heaven now. They're having a heck of a BBQ chicken cookout! I love all of you and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Always, Tammy Hicks O'Briant

My girls loved Ms. Carter. Ms. Carter loved my girls. We're going to miss her so much. We visited the rest home a lot and Ms. Carter loved seeing the girls to give them hugs.
