You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mom and dad were both very special people in my life when I was in jr. high and high school. Westview Baptist and Slaton have lost a precious saint but heaven has gained a new one.

We remember your sweet mother, Faye, and father, Jay, from those early wonderful spirit filled days at Westview Baptist Church. Your mother was always a gentle, kind, generous lady. She was a great Bible scholar who willingly shared her knowledge. We worked with her in Sunday School and your father as a deacon and their reward is being together in heaven. Please know that we care for you and pray God's comfort and finally peace for each of the family.

My heart is broken for your family at this difficult time. Your Mom was a role model to me when I was growing up. I will never forget the kindness she(and your Dad) showed our family over the years. Our prayers are with you and the greatest comfort at this time is knowing that your Mom joins her husband with our Heavenly Father. Sincerely,Laura(Johnston)Bradley

Jay,My heart is broken for you in the loss of such a dear,sweet lady. She was a role model when I was growing up and I have never forgotten the kindness that she(and your Dad) showed our family throughout the years. You and your family are in my prayers. The experience, I can share with you, is in my Mom's passing I was able to know that she was with her Heavenly Father and you can certainly take comfort in that as well. We will see them again on the other side! Sincerely,Laura( Johnston)Bradley
