The Lord will keep you from all harm -- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

--Psalm 121:7-8 (NIV)



Our lives are not lived alone. The Lord is with us personally. He holds each of our futures and our safety in his hands. We live to serve him and go to be with him when we die. The Lord will keep us from all harm!

Dear Family,

We were sadden by the untimely death of Terry. Just know that God makes no mistakes and that in time he can heal all hearts and lessen your burdens. We will keep you uplifted in our prayers. He will surely be missed by all that he came in contact with. To his children "Look to the Lord" He is your father, mother, sister and brother. He will comfort you when no one else can.



God Bless,

Gary, Jeannine, Cheree' and Isaiah Mullins
