Aunt Augustine was a wonderful Aunt and grew to also be my friend. We consoled each other in times of sorrow. Rejoiced together in times of happiness.
She was always welcoming and insisted on making a meal, which was
delicious. She was sweet and kind always.

Aunt Augustine was so beautiful inside and out. When I was learning to sew she gave me a lot of helpful hints. I loved listening to her and Uncle Ewell’s stories. She made some wonderful dishes at family functions. We were so blessed to have her as an Aunt. I will miss her so much. My prayers are with you and your families Kathy and Darryl. Love y’all!
