I had the pleasure of caring for Nurse Crowder in July. I enjoyed hearing stories about her days in the OR. She was very kind. I will remember her fondly. My condolences to her family and may your memories comfort you at this difficult time.

To "Mom Munford" and Family

Psalm 23:4
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (NIV)

We were saddened by the illness and loss of your Sister. God knew best and offered her rest from her labors on earth. We are praying for you and the family.

God loves you and so do we.

To the family:
Ms Helen was known as a very kind individual with a warm heart who would let "Lou" out in the mornings and sit on her front porch. She always spoke and greeted you with a smile. Ms Helen's kind hospitality will be missed and her family will be kept in prayer during this difficult time.

Life is but a Stopping Place......

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord
