"We do not want you to be uniformed, brothers, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus." 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14. Praying for you, Misty and family. May this weekend be rich as you are together and honor your mom.

Ann was most gracious during the times we were able to chat together. A proud mother and grandmother, our conversations included her adoration of Reese, her cousins and the family relationships she enjoys with her aunts. Surely the love she shared with you all is evident in the closeness you share with each other. May you share happy memories as you define Ann's niche in your hearts. Betsy Steen
