My darling friend Anna, man do we share great memories.  We were roommates and good friends for years.  The laughter, the prayers, the ministry .. . you were such a vital part of my beginning ministry years.  I'll never forget our "wailing" sessions . .we would schedule them and just get on our knees and "wail" before the Lord!  I can still hear your laughter.  I love you my sister and although we will miss you in the earth, we are confident that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  
To your wonderful daughter Cassie who you loved so dearly, I extend my sincerest condolences.  May God be a comfort to you Cassie and your family in this great loss.  

See you on the other side my sister!





I remember her laughing.  She had the most infectious laugh ever!

About my older sister Anna;
Anna is 8 yrs older than me and when I was about 13 she as a young minister and her minister friends from Michigan State , Kim Brown , Janice and Annette would take me with them on their preaching engagements at the Salvation Army and various churches and street meetings.
We would also have all night prayer vigils where we would speak in tongues and cry out to God! 
It was a great spiritual experience that I will never forget!

Annalee Combs-Allen is my first cousin.  She was the sound track and joy of my childhood.  She was a mentor and advisor to me.  She would always say when I talked about shopping as a young women, "La Donna you  have to save, even if it just five dollars a pay."  I listened to her.  She would say, "La Donna you have to have an education to understand the world,"  I listened to her.  She would say and sing, "God is a Good God." And I would sit in church, or at her home or her business and listen to her sing that all the time. 

When I was a very small child, she and her sisters would be on a very large hill, to me it felt a mountain because I was so young.  We would all hold hands and run as fast as we could down that hill.  I was the youngest so my feet always left the ground. It was like being on a roller coaster with your hair flying in wind. We would get to the bottom and they all would try and catch me.  It was some  of the best times with all my cousins. 

She was the best business woman of her time in her county. Before all of these Culturally Specific grassroot agencies, Annalee was doing federally funded faith-based work in her community.  She loved kids and motivating parents and families.  She is the reason I love nonprofit federally funded work today, and she was the inspiration for my business and hard work.  

Her beautiful princess Cassandra is her mother's wildest dreams and everything she has done and accomplished.  Cassie (her nick name) is world renowned, smart, compassionate, kind and loving.  Her mother was so proud of the young phenom she has become.  She will go on to outshine all of her mother's greatest expectations of her, because of what Annalee poured into her mind and soul.

Rest in Peace cousin, you are the Princess and are sleeping with the Queen aunt Hazel, you are together. You're even yet in the best company of all. 

I love you.  

Your cousin Dr. La Donna M. Combs

ANNA gave me my Bible, 1976! Me Billy.  She was always oncall to answer my Bible questions!  We shared many laughs in our conversations of life.
