I'll never forget Sara Ann's sweet, bubbly personality. We went to Myrtle Beach together this spring and even though we had just met, we made some of the best memories singing our hearts out to some country music. If only I could have known her longer. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

May God watch over all of you during this time I your lives. May this poem give you the comfort it once gave me.


To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain. "And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

No Tears Past the Gate
(Unknown Author)

Someone new has entered our
eternal home above
The heavenly gate has opened
wide to welcome one you love.
We cannot help the tears that fall -
our hearts need time to grieve
When earthly life has ended and a
loved one has to leave.
Yet even in the saddest time,
we know our Savior lives,
And we can trust completely
in the promise that He gives
That in a glad reunion with the Lord,
Our loved ones wait to welcome us
in joy - with no more tears beyond
the gate!

Conrad Scoggins & Family

September 17, 2013

Are there angels hidden among us,
Who,in our midst do holy missions;
Whereby they create never a fuss,
Delivering to the Lord our petitions.
Such eyes betray a heavenly soul;
Flood gates of such innocent love,
That capture hearts as devine toll,
For a glimpse of what waits above.

Sweet honey surely filled her veins
While a golden rose was her heart,
And with the angels she now reigns,
Protected there since being apart.

The Comers will forever be in our prayers, and thoughts.

The Robinson Family

Comer family,
Words are inadequate to express the sorrow everyone feels for your sudden loss. As a mom, I cannot even begin to fathom this pain. My daughter Corissa Boaman is a Sigma Alpha and although the two went to YCHS together, just began their friendship through this organization. I guess that's why I feel the pain too. Please accept my sincere condolences and feel the prayers being lifted up.

Rest In Peace Sara Ann..
