What an awesome, true life celebration was yesterday´s memorial. Why are we so surprised to find that a family member we knew well is just as great a lover of Jesus Christ as we are?! So it was for me when I walked down the aisle of Canaan Baptist Church´s meeting center, glanced to the left and saw a slim woman who looked decidedly familiar and it turned out to be Nettie. We embraced and it was the beginning of many talks with her and my Auntie about the goodness of God. When I got an assignment in Dublin City Schools we connected again, with me spending two weeks at her house and us spending hours on the phone talking about the goodness of God! Life happens, and the calls and visits get less frequent, then I learned, sadly, time had run out, but I´m heartened by knowing I´ll see her again.

To the Harmon and Costner Family.
Words cannot express the sadness in my heart for your loss. Arnette and I were Sorors and friends. We shared many good times and laughs when she lived in Dayton. She had a beautiful smile and personality plus. Arnette loved her family and Mckenzie, you were the apple of her eye. Although our hearts are heavy we know that she is a child of the King and because she trusted, the Lord Jesus as her Savior, we will see her again. My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you. I pray that God will comfort you with a peace that passes all understanding
