To The Family:
What a mighty God we serve! His promises are true. Your loved one lived threescore years & ten (Psalm 90:10) and she lived them well. A life that some can only hope for. I pray you find comfort in knowing she no longer endures pain. Her life as we know it is over. However, our finite minds can not fathom the wonderful life she is now living! Allow God to comfort you during this time. He is right beside you with open arms. God Bless.

I grew up in West Tabernacle Baptist Church listening to Mrs Earnestine's beautiful soprano voice. She always had a kind word and a infectious smile. I know the soprano section of the Heavenly Choir is rejoicing that she's now a member.
To the family our prayers for peace are with you.
