In 1973 I was honored to become a sister-in-law to Willie Mae, also called Cookie by others. She was only 23 years old then and I was 25 with similar concerns and curiosities of life. She was a beautiful young woman with an exciting personality. She was funny causing laughter and amusement for others. She like going to any type of social events or gathering such as parties and other significant occurrences. Anytime she went out she dressed very appropriate and was attractive. I like her uniqueness; She had an outfit for every occassion; but most importantly, she always wore her wonderful smiles every where she went. She had so many clothes. I recalled of asking her: “Sis, why don’t you just put one of these outfits in the cleaner and wear it. I think you would look gorgeous in it." Again she would just smile and slightly shook her head. She would never wore an out fit twice. I cherished these memories we had together.
Love,

We grew up and went our separate ways. We seldom communicated- but every time her name was mentioned in the conversations; her smiling, glowing face would shine in a special corner of my mind and heart where I kept our memories.
Thank God he allowed me to be a part of your family. You walked with me at that appointed time. I thank you for that privilege my sister Willie Mae!.
I am confident that you are back home with our father, who is also our creator.
We should rejoice and celebrate your home coming sis; even though it’s hard but we are convinced that God ‘s love sees us through.
