Dear Mrs. McCord and family
I was so sorry to hear of Brother McCord's death, but know that he is rejoicing with the Lord. Sorry for your loss, but know one day you be together again. I'll always remember you and Brother McCord when we went to the Presbyterian Church in Newton MS. I was Delora Stephens, and my parents were Sam & Anne Stephens, then I married Ron Davis, Steven and Tina came to Church with us too, years ago.
Sincerely, Delora Stephens Davis, Newton MS
