I will always have fond memories of Aunt Babes. Growing up, dad would take me and my brother over to Perkins Street and we’d make the rounds to all the family. Aunt Babes was always so kind to me. I will hold on to those memories forever. God bless.
Babes was one of my favorites. She was a little different then others. I knew and was close to her. Babes and I kept secrets that is why we loved each other very much . Babes made sure her children went and finished school. She was Tuff with that and I am proud of her always. We had so many fun times. I will miss her greatly. Rip by Babes . You are now out of pain and with the man upstairs lol

Rest in peace may you and John be together again forever
