Brenda, our male choir sangs a parti-cular hymn that is so true and fitting it says "WE SHALL BE CHANGED FROM MORTAL TO IMMORTALITY IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE"this is a debt we all have to pay one day and most often we are not prepared for it. But God is surely able to carry you through this and other hard times that will surely come your way. You will handle this and much more with God leading and guiding you. He'll show you the way. Just look toward heaven and know that he is there still on the usher board and now he is showing others to there seat at his feet and being blessed with the others that have already crossed over and the ones that are on there way. The Fisher Family.
