Anita and I remember the Love that Nancy Jo had for our Lord and His church...as well as for this pastor and family during our years at Georgetown Baptist Church. May God flood you each with His Grace in this time of need of His comfort.

My guest book entry disappeared after I finished. I do not know if it will reappear. I must try again to leave a brief message here concerning my beloved sister, Nancy Jo Burton Pettis. She was a committed Christian of highest character. Nancy Jo and I were blessed to grow up in South East Lake under the strong leadership of our mother, involved in worship and all activities of Ruhama Baptist Church. Nancy Jo was beautiful inside and outside, gifted and talented in multiple ways. How blessed I am to have called her sister.

We were privileged to worship with Nancy at Mandarin Baptist Curch for many years. Nancy was a very sweet lady who always let her love of the Lord shine through. She will be missed.
