My love and sympathy to all. I used to take my grandmother, Daisy Fielder, to see Mrs. Pearl and Frankie. Dollie McMillen was my great aunt. May God's own Holy Spirit be with you during this difficult time.

We are sorry for your loss. I remember her from way back being close to my grandma, Rose Belk. I was there all through the years when she would come and spend the night and they would visit. I am glad I got to go see her a few weeks ago. Your family will be in our prayers in the coming days and months asking God to help you through this time of loss.
