I was blessed to know Ms. Earlon. We worked together for many years. She was a little spit fire, but kept the ACT Team in line for many years. As for her Grandchildren, words are not enough to say how special they were to her. She was so proud of all of her children and loved them dearly. I will truly miss her. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. Sandy Wilkey – Office Manager

One way that God provides comfort is through his word the Bible. (Rom. 154) Why not keep a list of scriptures that are comforting to you Grieving is not an overnight process. But the Bible can provide comfort, for it assures us that in the new world that God promises to bring about. You too many find that meditating on such promises will help you to cope with the loss of your loved one. Some have been comforted As we face the pain of losing someone we love. The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. One day the last enemy death will be brought to nothing. (1 Cor. 1526) Jesus gave his human life for us by letting his blood be shed as a sacrifice. Then He ascended to heaven & once for all time our offered the value of his shed blood to God. (Heb. 911,12) That laid the basis for the forgiveness of, all mankind.
