To Michael and Cherryl
I am truly sorry for your loss. Mr. Jeter was a good person. A journey we all must take. It is not new to us because His Word tells us of His plan. He stated there is a season for everything. Knowing his plan does not make it easier for us to let go. He Word states who so ever believe in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life. Thanks for Everything Mr. Jeter.

Michael and Jeter Family,

As a child, I looked forward to hearing as many Lawrence stories as Lawrence could crowd in during his weekly visits to our house. Lawrence's stories were suspense filled
and sprinkled with that Lawrence Jeter humor! I will miss the pleasure of the time-to-time messages Lawrence would leave for us.

Respectfully Submitted,
Mildred/Stevie
(affectionately named by Lawrence)
