Brax and Sylvia,

Our prayers are with you and know that we are here for you. Above all, God is your refuge.

Look to the hills from whence cometh all of your HELP. Why? Because ALL, ALL, ALL of your help comes from the Lord.

Lovingly,
Michael and Vanessa Carter

To Letha...... A part of us all is gone, but the memories will last forever. Grannie was much talked about and will be remembered forever. May you all find strength in God during this time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
