I love you “Kitten!” You surely will be missed. May God keep and bless you! You have Finished the Race, Fought the Good Fight, and Kept the Faith! The time you spent with us will never be forgotten. You were a good Mother, Wife, Friend and everything else. But to me you were sweet, kind, a special cousin and we shared the same Grandmother. You nurtured and raised two girls and I did the same with two boys. Track runs in the family as I and both the boys ran track. You have run the race of life and now you can rest and wait on the call of the Lord…. May God keep you in his care… Tony McMillan and family (Rosette, Tai, Nico), (Cuba Woods, Lucy Hawkins, Sam Hawkins, Frank Woods)
