To the Medlin family we are so sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Medlin. I remember all the fond memories we had together growing up at People’s Church. She was such a nice and caring Christian lady.

When we run the race for life, when death comes, the race is over. God speed, you have finished the race & victory is yours, with Jehovah God, & Jesus Christ. With the LOVE of Jehovah, The Father, Jesus Christ, finished his race, giving, US the hope of life ever after. John 316. What a gift, they gave to us.
The Bowles Family from Fayetteville extends its deepest sympathies to Tim and his family in the loss of his Mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Kay, Keith, Blake and Kristina, George and Jenna.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you walk this road of sorrow. We are so thankful to know a Savior who gives us comfort for such a time as this. May His love sustain you.
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible student. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258 that says soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all like forward to the hope of seeing our loved ones again and to live in a perfect world. I hope that this scripture can bring some comfort during these difficult times.
