To the Speller family, especially Wanda and Curtis, my condolences on the loss of your mother. She was such a valuable part of that section of Liberty Park. Her rest is well deserved. May she rest in peace.

To Wanda and family: Our prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Hold fast to God's promise in His word in Psalms 30:5 Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. We will see our loved ones again if we live holy unto the Lord. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10
