Rev. Henry and Ruth,
We were so sorry to hear of your recent loss; we’re sending our sympathy.
She’s in a better place right now, than she’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; she’s now at rest; nothing troubles her anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of our sadness and our grief;
We have to cry, to mourn our loss, before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with her at the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see her cherished face again when we release our earthly load.
Sharing in your sorrow,
Brother Nathan Coles

Grandma you stayed with us awhile and you were ready for your eternal rest. So peacefully you took the Masters hand and slipped away to to rest in Jesus.
You left a treasure of wonderful memories. Apple and cherry tree's, grapevines,SWEET POTATOE and coconut pies, your famous pound cake, and yes even grandaddy. So many thoughts of time spent at the home place where we shared fun filled holidays, and us grandkids sneaking up to the attic or the famous "MYSTERY MEAT" that now makes us crack up!
Thank you Grandma Ruth for showing us life!
Forever in my heart
