Your mother brought so many happy moments in my life and left me with a treasure trove of memories. It’s the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that Ill remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles, the daily chats and our occasional happy hours. And even though it seemed like I would never recover from losing my mom, it was those very moments that helped me push the pain away and bring back the smiles. Your memories of your mother and the memories others have of her and share will also help you push away the pain. I will never be able to forget her. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. May her soul rest in peace. Carol Harrell

Dear Llewellyn,Hugh and Jeannine, I’m sure you know how saddened I am to learn of Mary Anne’s death, and want you to know of my sympathy and understanding. In my view, she was an extraordinary lady of the very highest rank. She also was one of my dearest, closest friends. She will indeed be greatly missed. Unfortunately, I will not be able to get to the funeral home or grave site, since I have no car and don’t drive. ‘Haven’t been out of the Albemarle in several months. You’re in my prayers today and will be for the days ahead. I join you now in sorrow,but at the same time, in celebration of Mary Anne’s beautiful life. Sincerely, Carlyle
As we make our journey through this life, death is our final battle. Whenever I am troubled, & lost in deep despair, I bundle all my troubles up & go to God in prayer. I tell him I am heartsick & lost & lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened & I dont know what to do But I know he loves me & I humbly ask if in his love hell calm my heart, for me& then I just keep quiet & think, only thoughts of peace & if I abide in stillness my restless murmurings cease. (Ps.3418) (John 316) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again
Llewellyn, I am sick that no one let me know about this. I know you took such good acre of her & will remember seeing you 2 together at FOOD LION when we would bump into one another. My deepest sympathy to you & the children & Henry. I certainly would have come to the service. I found out about your mother & Virginia Sellers passing in the waiting room of a doctors office when I recognized Mrs. Parker (remarried but can’t remember name) who lived on Mallory too I believe. Please email me at [emailprotected] when you can. I love you, Billy
