Dear Joan and Family;
To say I am shocked and saddened by Johns passing is an understatement! John and I were very good friends for a long, long time. My wife (Valerie) and I have been Christian for quite some time now, and it is our prayer that through Johns passing, many of you will look to The Lord Jesus Christ for comfort and above all, salvation. For Gods grace is exteneded to all, not just priest, pastor, and "prophet", but to ALL who would go to Him for forgiveness. Please read...
John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, (thats you) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Those verses are either the truth, or a lie. There is no inbetween.
My phone number is listed on MSN Whitepages. We are in Iva, South Carolina for the past 12 years.
Please call, we would love to hear from you.
Very Sincere,
Frank (Fran) & Valerie Ebell

Dear Dad,
I never know how to start a letter. Do you start it by saying "How's it been lately?" or "What's going on with you?". Well all I can say is lately I miss waking up to help you with your daily needs, I miss the boys being able to jump onto your bed and say "Good Morning Pop" and I miss just having the opportunity to lay next you and watch tv just like I remember when I was a little girl. Life has moved on and we are planning your funeral but I can't say that I am sad all of the time. Knowing that you are watching down on me makes me feel comforted. I hope you are enjoying yourself and don't worry we will all be o.k. Love you a bunch!!!!
