To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! What a thought! Sorry to hear about the passing of Sis. Pettus. Loved her always and remember so many times being in church w/her and her family, growing up. Our loved ones leave us to be reunited w/their heavenly Father, but the memories live on forever. Thank God for Good Memories. Praying for each of you for the physical, spiritual and emotional strength you need during this time and future.

She was my Mother-n Law but treated me as her daughter. I loved her and she taught me many wonderful things. I have great memories of this family and pray and know God will be with each one of them. Brothers and sisters I will always be here for each one of you.
Prayers and Love,
Norma

So sorry to hear of Francis passing. I grew up with her and she was always a fun person to be with.
I know she will be missed by many people not just her family but friends also. Hoping to mert her up there in heaven.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Frances. She and my mother (Anna Dickerson) were life-long friends. She was so kind to our family and brought food when our mother died. Wish I could be with you but miles and circumstances do not make it possible. I will remember you in prayer at this very difficult time. Love, Betty Dickerson Sowder

Will always remember this special lady. Use to go home with Becky on Sundays after church, loved her green beans, and she was the first person to let me drive. Guess what I drove right into the creek. She laughted and said, "well honey, you have to learn". May each of you be blessed with such sweet memories.
Love and prayers,

I am so BLESSED to have had her as my Aunt. She told me not long ago she was ready to go home to be with Jesus. I find comfort knowing she is rejoicing with Granny and her brothers (she loved so much) so many who have gone to be with the Lord. Oh sweet memories will always be in my heart forever. My love always!

God looked around the garden
and found an empty space
he looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
for he only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary
and he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
be well on earth again.
He saw the roads were getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered peace be thine.
I will miss you Grandma.
