It is hard to tell someone goodbye and in Congettas case, even more so. She was always a sweet and helpful person, a delight to work with and involved in all things she loved. She will be missed by all who knew her. To her family I am praying that the Heavenly Father will bless you with the strength and comfort you will need.

Vicky,
I'm sorry to hear of your sweet Mother's passing. I have many fond memories of Congetta while staying with you and spending many nights at your house. We enjoyed so much the times she came to Texas (to Mom's house) with you & LeVern. You, Pat, Jackie, & Barbara are blessed to have such a wonderful, loving Mother. I love you all, & my thoughts are with you.

As long as I can remember...from the early 70's, she was always a "Saintly" woman who lived a Godly life. Never in my entire time of knowing her had she ever spoken an unkind or ugly word about anyone. If anything, she prayed for them. I have so many fond and precious memories of her. And her lasagna was awesome!!! My heart is heavy in that she is gone, but I am happy for her because I know she is rejoicing with the Angels in Heaven. Rest easy.. you will NEVER be forgotten!

Sammy,
I don't know if you remember me; you were my student worker at Southeastern many years ago. I am so sorry about the loss of your grandmother. I remember you talking abut her all the time. I never met her, but know that she was a wonderful person. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers.
