Alethia Gay Burnett Blackwell

Native Daughter~Born on June 18, 1954; to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Burnett. Called back home June 22, 2007.

From Sãndí Abbo (Clark):

'Letha; the mother of Dwana, the wife of Judge, the sister of Brenda, Argie, and Shelton.

I called her friend.

She was my "down-the-street bud" in my teen years and adulthood.

When she entered the armed forces I couldn't believe it.

Turned out it was her chance for great personal growth.

I will forever remember her laughter and those rapidly moving eyes.

Much love. Tigers all the way!

From Vanessa Jones:

Alethia and I were childhood friends and neighbors.

After graduation Alethia served our country by joining the Army where she met and married her husband, and later had a daughter.

She and I lost contact with each other for several years until I was contacted and told she had passed.

RIP my friend.
