To the family of Altheree - words cannot express the deepness of the void you feel in her absence . But one thing remains your love for her will never die and the memories -precious will never fail. Her assignment is complete on this side She has taken flight and gone to rest until she shall hear Jesus voice calling her to awake from sleep. Weep not as those who have no hope. All who trust in Christ will see her again. Believe you this?
