To Sonya Whaley, Please accept my prayers for you and your family, I know how much your Aunt meant to you, as you expressed your love for her when you would travel to Maysville and Columbus to visit, and report back to us at work, on how your Aunt is doing, I felt as if she was one of my Aunt's as well. Just know that weeping may endure for a night but the joy of knowing that she is with the Lord will always comfort you. I'm sorry, I can't make it to the funeral, but my prayers are with you and your family. 

God Bless you,

God's morning, It's still a wonderful  day that God had created. The life of my aunt, which God gave to her, has returned to Him. Without the breath, there wouldn't be a life for any of us. I'm grateful to our Creator for all things. Tears from the eyes of the living, are sometimes of joy and of sadness. My tears are of both. I remember my aunt in many of her used to be ways. All we have now is her memories. She and I laughed at things that were not hurtful to anyone. Let's keep it real, for she was NOT , that great cook in the kitchen, but she could cook. She would use some words that many of you still use. Mary Ellen Thomas, was Meben to me, and I still don't know how that nickname came about. Do you, Rat? She was a petite size and dressed well when she was healthy. She, along with her deceased mother, Ivora Vinegar Whaley, had always taken very good care of us Whaley children. Continue to be in loving memory of her as you live your lives for the Lord, Jesus Christ. Search the Scriptures for Words of comfort for your living on today, and the lives of your family. God sees all that pretains to you. May your days to come,  be of much love and peace, as you live your lives. There is complete comfort in God through His only Son, Jesus the Christ. Rat, thanks much to you and your wife, Olivia,  for taking very good care of my Aunt Meben. You two know of all the ups and downs you went through in caring for her. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS. I truly respect and honor you both.  Your cousin,  Sumana T. K. Cyrah
