mom,connie and myself came to pay our respects out of respect for my dad. however we were given wrong directions 3 times and were unable to locate the church. we are sorry that we missed the service and hope that everyone is doing as well as can be expected. connie sends her love to all and is sorry she missed seeing everyone, since she did drove all the way from s. carolina to attend. mom really wanted to attend but would have only been able to stay for the service due to her limited amount of oxygen when away from home. but at least the important bryant family members were present and for that i am thankful. i have been where all of you are now it takes a very long time to realize that they are not around to talk to or to go to with a problem. however i am sure all of you will do just fine.

Debbie, we pray for you as you rejoice through your grief that your Mother has received her much earned reward. She is with Jesus at this very moment. Mrs. Hunter was grace personified, a lovelier lady would be hard to name. Working with her at Sears was a pleasure. One knew she was a Christian and her joy was in serving her Lord. After her love for God she was completely devoted to her family. You are blessed to call her Mother!!! Linda & Russell
