Lit a candle in memory of Sylvia Faircloth Powell
Sylvia – so hard to believe I will never see her beautiful smiling face or hear her sweet loving stories that she always told. A true Christian – a true friend. Heaven’s gain is definitely a loss to all of us that knew her. Praying for you Allan, Linda, Brandon (Nana’s sweetheart) and Panola. I love you all – each of you (including Sylvia) are just like family to me
Beautiful,sweet Christan lady has left us to early,but JESUS called her name and her husband meet her at the pearly gates and welcomed her home.Oh how I will miss all the beautiful flower arrangements on the altar each Sunday at WEBC and that sweet smile and hug she always gave me. We will cherish these sweet memories and her love along with her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family especially Allan,Linda,Brandon and Panola. GOD please wrap your loving arms around them for the days,weeks and months to come . Tom and Martha
Jim and I will certainly miss your sweet smile and glowing, pretty face smiling at us when we sang in the choir at WEBC. God called you home way too soon, for we will all miss you as well as your lovely floral creations you so graciously added to the alter table each Sunday. Our prayers are for Linda, Tony, Brandon, Allen and our sweet friend, Panola. God bless you all. Jim and Faith Little .
AS we make our journey throu this life, death is our final stop. The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man, Jesus Christ, Gave way to tears.So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous.(John1135) Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. (John1125) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones once again.
