A word to our mother and grandmother!

We will miss the sound of your voice and the wise words you would speak.

Our minds are weary and hearts are weak.

You were the apple of all of our eyes.

Now it’s time for us to say our final goodbyes.

We will not cry or fuss because we know you wouldn’t want that from us.

Our heavenly father put you here on loan,

Now our heavenly father has called you home.

We truly miss you, love you always and forever Your children and grandchildren.

The family of Mrs. Veola Underwood would like to thank everyone for their phone calls, cards, condolences and prayers in our time of bereavement!

    To Crystle Ellis Underwood and the Underwood family my sincere sympathy on the passing of your love one. Mrs. Underwood was special to many people including all of us at Afro World Hair & Fashion Company. Her visits and support to the store will forever be remembered and cherished. My prayer is for God to continue to bless you and during your time of sharing memories of her as the strong matriarch, each of you will bond closer to one another like never before. Much Love and God’s Strength, Sheila Forrest
