Our thoughts and prayers are with you upon the passing of your precious mother. I remember eating some of the best banana pudding at her table in the early fifties in Fries, VA and playing ball on a Sunday afternoon with you boys.

God bless each of you. We have a wonderful heritage.

Earth's loss is heavens gain. June is with Ruby, Essie, Janet, Ralph, Garnett, Guy and all the other family members who are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and are in heaven. We are sadened by your loss here but they are rejoicing in heaven. We are praying that Charlie and the Phillies will win the World Series. This would be pleasing to June. We are compassed by so great a cloud of witnesses in heaven God may allow June to take a peak at the World Series and see her son win the World Series. We are praying that you will have good success. Eye hath not seen nor ear heard or entered in to the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those that love him. We extend our dearest sympathy and our love to all the family. We are sorry we could not be with you. I had to work and go in early so it was too much for me to make the trip. May the God of all comfort, comfort you and give you peace that passes all understanding in your loss and heavens gain. Keep looking up Jesus is coming soon for all the saints. My prayer is that the entire family will be ready to meet Him when he comes. God Bless. Wayne and Janice Pickett

Life has it's seasons each with its own lessons. With the loss of your Mother, it may seem like winter. But as a loved one departs, the Lord gives His own Spirit to stand by the sides of those who grieve and there will come a Spring.

The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends.
