Henry and Family, my heart is breaking for your family. Mahalia was so special and I know you all are so sad at this time. I feel so blessed to have known Mahalia all these years. She was a good friend and we had such good times working together for years. I am so sorry I had not been able to see Mahalia lately. She and your family have been in my prayers for months now and those prayers will continue during this time and the months ahead. Julie Brown
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Henry and all the family. May the hand of God comfort you and keep you and may you be reminded of all the wonderful memories. We send prayers of strength and peace during this time. God bless, ~ The Wynne Family
Henry, Beth, Jamie husbands and grandchildren, I am so sorry about Haley. She was like a sister to our family never a sister in-law. She grew up with all of us and became a really true Lancaster. Elwood and my heart has broken every day for each of you. Haley and all of us had such wonderful family gatherings in the past. We will miss her more than anyone will ever know. But I am glad her fight is over and she fought everyday for the past eight months just as hard as she could she can now rest with our family members and hers that have gone on before her. The Lord has a purpose for everything and in time we will know why he wanted another angel for his kingdom. She was a blessings to every life she touched. Knowing her and loving her was our pleasure. We will miss her and I pray that each of you can find closure and peace that she loved you guys and girls more than life itself. If there was anyone that loved Henry Lancaster more than her I don’t know who it was. Henry I am so proud of you as my brother for taking such good care of Haley and being by her side every hour of the day. I know she realized how much you loved her and that made her the happiest she had ever been except for having the sickness. God be with each of you through this trial and may he bless you with all the memories we all have of Haley. Elwood and I love each of you and our prayers are with you each and every day. If you need us we are here for you no matter what is needed Love You Your Sister and Aunt Kaye .

My thoughts & prayers are with your family. I pray God grants grace & peace beyond all understanding. Gods word says he is near to those who are broken hearted, & those who are crushed in spirit, he saves. Ps. 34 18. What a wonderful promise we have been given.
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.
