Mama Mabel proposed Mamie Johnson to take care of Mariah Stokes' daughter, Tilda. As she suddenly lost her child, Johnson ultimately agreed, raising Tilda as her own daughter. Tilda was really close with Johnson, whom she called "Meemaw." However, Johnson had Tilda keep a picture of Mariah, in order to never forget her biological mother.[1]
