Alicia Simic

She was a sweetheart always asking others if she could do something for them, she was always full of energy and at times I asked her if she was "Wonder Woman". She will be remembered with respect and love always.

Leland Williams

Mamie enjoyed John 14:1-6: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Mamie enjoyed knowing that God had a place for her in Heaven and she often said that she prayed "Jesus, why am I still here? If you come again before I die, PLEASE take me home with you." She had accepted Jesus as "the way" a long time ago. Leland Williams, nephew by marriage to Cornelia
