Mrs. R. A lovely, elegant lady with a warm welcome and quick smile for me whenever I would return home to Portsmouth. I liked to pop into the church office to visit both her and Preacher just to say hello and get a hug. She was a foundational stone for the wonderful ministry edifice that is "Central". We honor her character, charm, and faithfulness. I am grateful for the privilege of knowing Miss Betty, her Beloved Willie, and all her precious children.
We care for you,
Gracie

Just two weeks ago today mom and I were laughing and having a good time. I know she's still laughing and having a good time, but in a different place - heaven! "Let not your heart be troubled,...I go to prepare a place for you...that where I am, there you may be also." John 14 My loss is heaven's gain; I miss you so much mom, you were my very best friend and it just won't be the same without you and your witty ways. I hope I can be a good mom like you were. Tell Daddy hello and give him a big hug for me. I love you both and what a blessed hope that we have in Christ Jesus. Until then...I love you!

Mrs. Robertson the women beside the man that was the help meet and the mother always there for her family. I know she will be missed but not forgotten. A friend to many at church and a mentor to many. May God Bless her family and friends she has left behind.

Dear Vicki, Krista, Tim, & Dana....the Perfection of Heaven continues to be where I look forward to being when He calls for us. Your Mom was the example of The Pastor's Wife we so honored in Christian Service. Continue to service Christ as your parents would desire. Your dear Mom has now received the rewards that will count for eternity. God Bless

Vicki, Krista, Tim, Dana, & all the family: Heaven is getting sweeter all the time! My prayers are with each of you, as I share your feelings of loss. Thanks for letting me be a small part of your parents' lives in recent months--and also for the past 50+ years.
Love in Christ,
Linda Harley Everman
