I love Mrs Benson. She was one of the best teachers at Piney Woods Elementary she was stern but loving and kept students in line. Prayers to her loved ones.
Many condolences to the Fortson family.. We are praying comfort and peace for the family. Mary Frances and I were in each others lives through being cousins, going to Howard High school , and being in Atlanta in colleges at the same time. Mary Frances came to my family and was a source of strength during the death of our sister, We appreciate all your roles and guidance you performed for us and others.. May you rest in peace..

Sending my condolences to the family of Aunt M as she was affectionately known to me. I was married to her nephew, the late Bruce Sims, who always stated she was his favorite auntie. She was always kind to me and my son Corey Sims, our son. Never a dull moment, she always had some of the funniest stories to share with you.
