Lit a candle in memory of Zola Bell Clay
When Zola lived in Scotland Neck she was my neighbor and friend for many years and we attended the same church. She is one of the sweetest ladies that I have ever known. Heaven has gained a precious lady.
Lit a candle in memory of Zola Bell Clay
Sending love and prayers to the family. Learned to love this precious lady, while sharing time with Norma and Jerry during our pastorate at the Kenly Church of God. We know her memory will live on long after she has gone to join other loved ones!
As we go thru the pain of the loss of our loved one. It is of great comfort to know, What the Bible says. The kingdom is a real government by God with Jesus Christ as Ruler. (Matt. 2818) (1 Tim. 6 14, 15) Its mission is to accomplish Gods will in heaven & on earth. (Matt. 6 10) Thus, by means of his kingdom, God will solve mans problems. No one will be sick , & death will be eliminated. (Rev. 213, 4) What a gift we have been given, to look upon our loved ones again.
