Condolence: I loved Auntie (Idaliah)so much. She was my godmother and she helped my father & us out for many years taking care of us daily after school and when he couldn't.(work, etc.) We lived down the street from Auntie & she took us to many family gatherings in & out of town (I loved the persimon tree & cookies in East Tx); held me when I had nightmares, brought us up in her church while we were there (I was baptized in her church). I have many, many wonderful memories of her & considered her my family. Because of her, I had a happy normal childhood from all she did. Her chocolate chest cake I still remember the taste. Her mother as well was a part of our lives. Forever will I remember her & her wonderful family. I know alot of good people, but she was the BEST there was. My prayers to her family, you have lost an absolute wonderful woman. I love you Auntie & I'll never ever forget you & thank you for all you did for me. Janelle & family, my heart hurts for you & I know Auntie is in a wonderful place now with her mother and she is watching over you. My very best to you all always. Love, Mary

Condolence: Mama Love's legacy is the loving kindness she showed to all. Fully exibiting the love of our God and His Son, Jesus as we were commanded. Those attributes are visible in her family who continue to show that love to others.
Several years back Mama Love graciously let me have her Chicken & Dumplings recipe. When we make it - it is still known as Mama Love's C&D.
She will be missed but has left many memories so that we can think of those and smile, or laugh, or cry.
One day - we will see her again.
Love to all the family.

Condolence: I loved Ms. Idaliah so much. When I moved to Texas in 2008 she made me feel so much a part of her own love that she spread to everyone who knew her. Ms. Idaliah knows we will all take care of her family in her absence to comfort and bless them as she would do herself. We are all lifting our hearts to her family so as to give them the strength they need to get through this difficult time. Love to all of Ms. Idaliah's family but especially to my dear friend Jaynell and her beautiful family. Love to you all, Kathy
