Uncle Bennie was one of the many real Christians that we grew up with in FSJ. Everytime I saw him, he was smiling and joking! But just as we knew him to be, God knew him better. I can just see he and JW laughing and embracing! Rest well Uncle Bennie...We'll see you in the morning! To the family, may God keep, bless, and heal your hearts til you see him again!

Brother Wimbrey was a loyal and dedicated Christian. I will remember him as a friend and one who encouraged when I needed to be encouraged. He will be missed.

When I am dead, my dearest

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
