Grandma, I miss you so very much. I am trying to learn to live without you but it is so hard. I know that you are in a better place but I admit I have a selfish desire to want you still here with me. My heart aches every time I think about you. I would do anything to call you just to hear your voice. My heart is so full of sorrow because we had developed a unique relationship that I doubt I will form with anyone else. You meant so much to me, Allison and my children that not having you around is going to take FOREVER to get used to. Mary Alice, I cannot believe you're gone. My heart is so heavy. I am waiting for that Mary Alice resilience to kick in, so that life can become somewhat normal again. I love you so much grandma.

To the Toler Family, I also have a heavy heart in the home going of Sis. Toler. Sis. Toler played a very important part in my life in later years. She was the closest person to a mother that I knew and loved. Be blessed and thankful for the many years the famiy did have her. Know that she is not lost, but over in the Glory Land awaiting the arrival of her loved one and if we live right, we will surely see her again.

To The Family of Sister Mary Toler, I thank you for all your training and inspiration during the time that I was a member of New Salem Baptist Church. I feel like I know more about the Word of God because of you and Rev. Toler. Sympathy to all of the Family. Love, Sister Mary Venable and The Malone Family
