Aunt Donella was such a wonderful soul, she will be missed by many. I know uncle John and my late husband Sam are all together now. May she Rest In Peace and know she had the best life a person could have on earth. Love always the spearman-Tyson family from littlerock Arkansas.

Minnie, I pray that God will strengthen, help, and keep you and all your loved ones as only He is able during this time of loss. You already know this, but I will say it anyway: Your Mother was a very special person, and her memory and place in history will continue to be Columbia, and South Carolina, treasures.

My sincere condolences are extended to the Wilson family.Growing up as a child in the Waverly Community I have always admired and respected Mrs. Wilson. She was the epitome of excellence and grace. I learned a lot of wisdom and lifelong skills because she shared so much with you. I will always remember her encouraging words. God has received a beautiful flower in His garden. She is resting safely and peaceful in His arms
