Mom Alston,
This is in remembrance of your birthday, November 12. I miss you so much. I had been thinking before you passed what to get you.Being with you on the last Sunday before you passed will have a lasting cherished moment for me. It was a blessing to have known you. You were a special person in my life.
May God continue to bless and keep his hands on your children, grands, great grandchildren, and other loved ones. You are sleeping in the arms of Jesus now resting in peace. Sweet dreams and kisses,too.
I love you,
Beverly A. Joiner

In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" "The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ 1 Corinthians 15:52-57

May God bless, comfort, strengthen and put his loving arms around the Alston Family. Mom, as I called her, will be missed but never forgotten. God has called Mom home, where she is needed because her life here on earth has been completed. To the Alston Family, Remember all the good she has done and you will never be alone, for it is God who sits high upon the throne. Cherish all the memories, no matter how big or small; Jesus is always there, whenever we give him a call. Cherish all the memories; keep them close to your Heart because from this life, we all must part. Until we see her again, this is a promise from God, when the world comes to an end.” Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning time". We the Peaks Family love you and we will continue to keep you in our Prayers.

Alston Family:
I just had a conversation with Jeff on yesterday about Ms. Taffie's life and how much people adored your mother. She was a beautiful woman on the inside as well as the outside. A woman who always carried a warm, gentle smile and spoke so softly. Her legacy will live on through the wonderful children that she leaves behind. God will honor your obedience, love and adoration for her. I pray that the days to come will be eased by the Lord's gentle hand upon your lives.
