My heartfelt prayers and love are being sent to the Flippens family. Remember Aunt Lucille
"When we walk in faith with Jesus as our Lord and Savior
We are always walking in the light
A higher plane is our destiny
A place of serenity and peace where all our cares are soon forgotten Your husband James is resting peacefully knowing that
the Love and Care you so unselfishly gave
made his journey home to his Heavenly Father so much sweeter."
