To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (2) A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; (3) A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; (4) A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance: (5) A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing
(11) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-5, 11.

We will miss her and her warm, friendly ways. My deepest sympathy to you and the family. You all are in my prayers.

Blessings

Mom, I miss you very much. even though I was not one of the easiest to raise. I know you that you loved me through it all. You were always there for me no matter what. I just want you to know that you are the strongest woman I have ever known. No matter how much pain you were enduring, you always had a smile for any one. Moments after you went to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Crist, A member at the Oshner Hospital said " She must have been very special" and as if we all were in chorus, said " YES, She was" and you will always be to us. I love you. Your loving daughter, Teresa A. Cutrer Weimer

Allen, Sue and family,

We are sorry to hear of Maw Maw Jane's passing. We kept up with her condition through Ali & Eric. It is evident she was a very well loved lady, and it is comforting to know that she is no longer in any pain. Our prayer is that you will feel the love and strength of Christ more than ever, as He helps you get through the times ahead. We are praying for your family.

Love,
Tom & Jan Prestridge

Al and Children, I extend to you my deepest condolences regarding the passing of your beloved wife and mother, Martha. I know that this is a great loss to you. It's been a long time since I have seen you people, as I did your taxes many years ago. I am now retired, remarried, and living in Union City, Tennessee. Again, I am so sorry.
