Ma,
I must say, I couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-love. We had a bond that many dream of. You loved me and I loved you. Though you were a major part of our lives, I don't think I really knew how much until you went home. You're presence alone, rejuvenated us. I'm going to miss laughing with you, encouraging Oaklynn to dance or do something silly, our private talks, your awesome meals, your hugs, your voice.... just everything. Please know that you will always be in my heart. I love you, Ma. -Fee

Deepest condolences to the Merritt and Millerton families during this difficult time. I have nothing but pleasant memories of Wanda growing up on St. Agnes. I know she is reunited with Ms. Barbara and other loved ones.

TT,
  You mean so much to me. I hope you knew that. I remember always asking mom to drop me off over there for a weekend or when I had a break off of school. We would hang out, & watch whatever movie I wanted. We would binge watch old tvs shows & You would cook for me. I miss spending time with you. Laughing with you. Holidays just won’t be the same without you….

Always in my heart.

Kiyah.

To my dearest auntie. If I could select all three of these options…I would. You mean so much to me. You mean everything to me and every single day I think of you. Wonder how I could be like you. You have everything to do with the person that I am today. You have impacted so many of us. My life would simply not be the same without you in it. You made sure I knew my family and I am indebted to you for that. You accepted me and my sister as your own. For every home cooked meal I make, for every song I sing, for every child that enters my door…that all comes from you. I am going to miss you so so much auntie. Thank you so much for everything ❤️ I love you with every bit of my heart.

To my beautiful Big sister Wanda. You were like a mother to me at times and you comforted me when I was sick or when I felt sad. Thank you for taking such good care of me when I was little. I will never forget my 13th birthday party you gave me and I got a lot of nice presents then. You are and forever will be in my heart! Your little sister Kim♥️

There are not enough words in the world that can describe how I feel about my big sister Wanda, and how much she will be missed. She always took care of me, and made me feel “seen”. As a child she provided a sense of comfort in my life that was second to none. Her humor, soft strength, and caring heart help me become the woman I am today. I love you Wanda….Rest easy my sweet big sister. ❤️

Job well done auntie…Thank you for always having the most beautiful soul and treating me as if I were your own. I can remember times as a kid staying at your house for days, having a house full of us and you making the best home cooked meals for all 40 of us(just kidding on the number). You will truly be missed, again just thank you for being you and showing us all what love for your family should look like. Rest well auntie!!

Wanda I still remember growing up as a very young child and our Sisters being best friends and seeing your beautiful smile and calm personality always welcoming me into your home as if it was mines. I hadn't seen you in years as I haven't lived in Dayton in over 40 years now but I will miss you and truly blessed that God allowed our paths to cross. Rest in piece
