Lillie and family --- we are so sorry to hear of the death of Bill. We are thinking of you. We are praying for you and all your family. God bless you !

We remember you all from the good old days at Epworth UMC. It is now named "The Rock / La Roca UMC". We are still going to church there at 1015 North Limestone. Yes, we still attend Sunday School at The LOA Wright Bible Class down in the basement.

Mom ( Bertha Stamper Wallace ) has been ailing with hip & femur replacement surgery since May of 2006. Our whole family was on vacation in Ormond Beach, Florida when her hip broke and she fell and broke her leg in four places. They have a very good hospital in Ormond and they had her out of the operating room within 10 hours from the time she fell. Mom is still on a walker and trying hard to recover to her previous good health. She is sad about Bill and she loves you all very much.

We pray God's Blessings, Healing, and Comfort be ever with the family and friends of William Neal Terhune. We also ask for the Tender Mercies, Peace, and Love of our Lord Jesus Christ to be included.

Lamentations 3:24 ( King James Bible )
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

Matthew 5:4 ( King James Bible )
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
