My dear aunt,I am sorry I was misinformed of your arrangements by my bro jimmy. You know in my heart I was there with you in spirit and love. I will always remember you and what you did for me and my brother when we were kids. Rest in peace and one day when we are united together in heaven there will be a glorious day that we can rejoice together. I love you and will never forget you.

The Word of God says in I Corinthians 9:24, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." Know that your Mother, my Spiritual Mother ran her race and has received her prize. We will all miss her dearly. We are praying for you.

On behalf of Eld Ernest & Carolyn Roddy and their children we would like to encourage the family of Evang. Small with these words from Revelation 21:4...And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Know that Sis G is in the place of promise singing and shouting the praises of God! We will keep you in our prayers.
