Condolences03-16-2010 Sharon, I just found out about your mom. She was always fun be around. You are in our prayers. Sent by: Tom Conner02-20-2010 Mrs. Speight was one of the absolute sweetest people I have ever had the honor of meeting...I took both piano & organ lessons from her for many years and I learned many lessons: play the organ foot petals with your shoes ON, practice 100 times 100, and practice doesn't make perfect ~ only perfect practice makes perfect. Your musical legacy will live on through the hundreds of students whom had the privilege to learn from you. I always felt the love just walking through your door. Rest in peace sweet Mrs. Speight.

I just shared some of those memories with friends at church this morning telling them how she taught me to play the piano and organ.....and yes, at the age of 57, I'm still playing in church all the time. She wouldn't have had it any other way. She was the best...in so many ways. Sent by: Deana Kearney-Allsbrooks02-16-2010 So many memories of my sweet aunt, Willie Mae. She taught me to make pies and we stayed up 'til the wee hours until I got it right-- and I had to learn to make tea...the RIGHT way and hers was the best tea in the world. She told me often that all she had to give me was love.....and that was her best gift. My Daddy was so fond of her...we all were and we were blessed to have her in our lives.
