Most merciful Father, who hast been pleased to take unto thyself the soul of this thy servant; Grant to us who are still in our pilgrimage, and who walk as yet by faith, that having served thee with constancy on earth, we may be joined hereafter with thy blessed saints in glory everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Cotton,
Janie Ramsey e-mailed me about noon and told me about the loss of your Dad. I am so sorry to hear about his passing, and you and all of your family are in my prayers. I always remember your proud papa smiling at all of the athletic events that went on in Garrison because he had so many talented kids involved in school activities. Pam Sears Taylor
