To the Yarbroughs -- I am so sorry to hear of "Granny's" passing. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. My prayers and the deepest of sympathies are with you now. The few times that I've had the pleasure of seeing Granny, she always had a smile on her face. She will certainly be missed. If I can do anything at this time, please don't hesitate to ask. With love and prayers, Mary

Sometimes I wonder how it is we can use the word "celebrate" in the phrase "celebrate the life" of someone who has passed on to the Lord. We lose them here on this earth not to see them again until we join them in glory. Then the word "GLORY" itself comes to mind. When we live our lives as to give God "GLORY", it brings him even more "GLORY" when we go home to be with him. I know these words cannot bring you peace in this troubled time but I urge you to seek God and His "GLORY" in all of this and He will provide you all the peace you need. Love, Roger & Tammy.
