From you granddaughters… Mom

The Rose I Give To You Today Another Special Day is here, bringing joy and pleasures new; on this special day,

Mother dear I want to remember you. I cannot give you costly gifts, and I’ve told you this before. No matter what I give to you, you gave back much, much more. I’m

giving you a pure, sweet rose, gathered on the early morn. This rose you planted in my heart, the day that I was born. I’m kindly, loving, thoughts of you, and with the faith you still began. The rose I give you today, is the love those is in my heart.

Love your daughter,

Karen

Special Kind of Love Grandma There’s a special kind of love that grandchildren have for their grandparents.

It’s filled with respect for their wisdom and accomplishments...with gratitude for the love they’re given us...with delight in the stores of our family that they remember and

share. It’s a special kind of love that’s built on a lifetime of caring and giving. It’s the kind of love that’s felt for you, Grandma...today and always

We love you to the moon and back,

Devon and Sherise

Alice received her elementary and high school education through the Walton County public school district. Pastor Hennessy received her certification as an Interior Electrician, and devoted 21 years to the United States Government Federal Civilian Ser-vice as a Document Control Specialist on Eglin Air Force Base. Her service culminated with numerous awards and achievements. Through the years spent on Eglin Air Force Base, Pastor Hennessy gained many friends, ac-quaintances and honorary children. Pastor Hennessy devoted her life to Christ at the young age of 5. She gave her life to Christ while becoming a member of St. Mark A.M.E Church. Pastor Hennessy became a member of St. Joseph A. M.

While being a member of this church she was a devoted member of the senior choir, the missionary society and was head of the Steward/Stewardess Board, and president of Women of Ministry. In 1994, Pastor Hennessy was called to preach and became a ordained and licensed minister of the gospel in the AME Church. Pastor Hennessy con-tinued to minster and preach the Gospel until she retired from her pastoral services in 2006. Pastor Hennessy was united in Holy Matrimony on October 31, 1964. From this union she was blessed with her only child, Lodie Karen Hennessy. Her husband Robert Lee Hennessy preceded her in death. Pastor Hennessy leaves to cherish her loving memories to her daugh-ter: Lodie Karen Hennessy of Crestview, Florida; her two granddaughters: Devon Hennessy-Thomas (Anthony Thomas) of Tallahassee, Florida and Sherise Hennessy of Crestview, Florida; three great granddaughters: Jordyn Kerrin, Jayde Lillian, Journey LeeAnn of Tallahassee, Florida; her sister: Norma Jean Hartfield (Booker T Hartfield, Sr.) of DeFuniak Springs, Florida; her brother: Benny Ross Goodson, Sr. (Connie) of Chicago, Illinois; her sister-in-law: Joanne Hennessy-Lindsey of Fort Walton Beach, Florida.
