To: Jeff and Debbie
It is with great sorrow that we learned today of your mother's passing from Odessa Bailey. Odessa thought the world of your mother. They had known each other for years. May the Lord grant you comfort and understanding while you grieve.

We are forwarding a memorial gift in her honor.

Dear Hopkins and Wagoner families,
I am so saddened to hear of Mrs. Hopkins passing. She was so sweet and kind to us when we transplanted ourselves here from Texas. I only had the honor to meet her a few times, but anytime anything went wrong in the rent house of hers we were living in, they were always right on it without a hesitation. She was always ready to help us out if we needed anything. She was such a beautiful and loving person. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to your family with deep sadness. We love you all.

I am so saddened to learn that Lorraine has passed but how wonderful it must be for her to be in the presence of her Lord & Savior! She was such a special lady and I have so many great memories of her and your entire family. I can still see her standing at the front of BSUMC getting frustrated at one of us during play practice and then starting to laugh, grabbing us and saying "Love ya' Babe!" She gave me my first Bible with handwritten instructions inside on how to use it best. That is a treasure for me and I refer to her notes still to this day. I send my love to you all and I will pray for the Lord to bring you comfort. Love in Christ.
