Sis. Tennard was a much loved soprano in the Voices of Galilee choir so know that you don't grieve alone during this time of transition. However, we don't grieve like the heathen who have no hope.
When God chose that flower for his garden he chose one of his brightest and best.
We're praying with you and for you.
Love Always,

My deepest sympathy to all of Loyce's family. I can only imagine your loss. Loyce was a dear friend to me during our years of working with Dr. Robert Moers at Medical Arts Clinic. We shopped the downtown streets of Houston on our lunch hour together and spent many hours relating stories of our families. I sampled much of her cooking, and it was all so good. I lost track of her after leaving Medical Arts, but I have always carried her in my heart and memories. Much love to all of you.....

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
ON BEHALF OF THE TURKNETT/HENDERSON/GRIFFIN FAMILY'S YOU HAVE OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND YOU ARE ALSO IN OUR PRAYERS. MAY GOD COMFORT YOU AND THE FAMILY DURING YOUR TIME OF SORROW.
