I am stunned to hear of Daisy's Homegoing...So many wonderful memories of our young families traveling to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We went often & Carla, Eric, Lesslie, Menthia, & Sybil, our children enjoyed the mountains, fishing, Alligator Farm, lots of laughs, good food & pure fun!! Those were precious days & memories to Treasure. Family, love God, Love one another, & know that there is Victory in Jesus!! He overcame death, hell, & the grave!! He rose the 3rd day with all Power in His hands!! Thanks be to God that Daisy professed a Hope in Him..."Love ye on another." God Bless You, keep you, & comfort you through this difficult time. Jean Clark & Family
Eric and Carla our families were very close as we grew up in the Catholic School, the South Memphis Community and Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church. In 2015 we were able to reconnect by means of the telephone. Daisy and I was so happy to hear each others voice and reminisce. I was sorry to hear of her passing for I know that Daisy is in place of eternal rest. Sincerely, Betty Adams
Family, you are in my prayers. Daisy was a beautiful, thoughtful soul. Birdie was my class-mate. When I visited Metropolitan, she was always welcoming. Mary Ann Corpal-Clay
