Please accept my sincere sympathy. I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Totsie.
To the Day & Mason Family, You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother, grandmother. I met Totsie on the base delivery me mail and through Sophie. We have become friends and she was special. I will always remember her in my heart and her beautiful smile. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”-John 3:16
I grew up knowing Ms. Totsie and her children. She was a well loved woman, known by many. She was an usher at Zion for many years, a good and faithful servant of the Lord’s, and she has gone to be with the Lord. My symphathy to the family, knowing in faith that God will give you comfort in these coming days. She will be greatly missed.
