LaVassa J. Gibson

Mark,

My prayers are with you and your family. There's a lot that I can say about Aunt Lavassa, but I have one special thing in my mind to share with you. When I was a little girl, and Aunt LaVassa taught me in Sunday School, she gave me a poem to learn one Easter. I want to share this with you, because it helps to keep me when things seem dark. The poem was "Down in my heart, it once was dark where fear and doubt would hide. But now tis bright, for Jesus Christ, the Lord now...

TO MY FAMILY, MAY THE LOVE AND LIFE THAT SHE LIVED SUSTAIN YOU DURING THESE HOURS! TRULY SHE WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PERSON OUTSIDE AS WELL AS INSIDE AND A TRUE CHILD OF GOD.

WITH LOVE YOUR COUSIN

Mark, our thoughts and prayers are with you, cuz. We loved Aunt LaVassa and love you, just the same. We're here for you and the family. Rest assured, that Aunt LaVassa is sleeping in Jesus, and couldn't be in a better place! Be encouraged. God bless you, dearly.
