'My angel passed away last night, that is how it feels every morning since. Clella Sue Brock gave birth to my beloved sister Nena McNealy (now passed) and myself. Nena gifted James McNealy, a fine Grandson, and my nephew. Sue always looked after me, gave generously of her heart and help to a troubled son. She seldom if ever asked for anything, she took care of me when I was nothing. I am very grateful, though too often did not show it in my early years. Until the day I die I will be ashamed of every wrong I did her and try to repay by her following her good example. My Mother is irreplaceable. If it exists I look forward to finding her again in the next life.
Her devoted servant, Johnnie Brock'
