To the Family,
Ms Odessa was such a sweet lady. I spent many visits with her at the Laurels at lunch and bingo. I always brought her a snack and one day I didn’t bring a snack. She politely let me know that was not acceptable. She loved to wear jewelry so I gave her several pieces which she wore proudly. I feel blessed to have known her.

Mother Odessa did not mind praising the Lord in Word and song during our church services at Laurels! She was beautiful inside and out! We loved her, and she made sure that we knew that she was concerned about us and loved us back. May she rest in peace!
