Carlton, I’m so sorry for your loss. Lifting you up in prayer. Teresa Taylor Bullard
It is hard to believe that you are gone. But I do know you are rejoicing with our Savior and those that have gone on before you. No more sickness, no more of that hateful disease alzheimer. If anyone deserves to be in Heaven it is you. We love you and will miss you. One wonderful day we all will be together again. Until then, wait for me for I will be there. With love, Joan Weeks
Sylvia was one of the sweetest people I have ever met and we are so sorry to hear of her passing. Our deepest condolences to her family. Wayne and Phyllis Newsome
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
