I am so sorry to hear about Mrs. Eakes. She was a fine lady. Her
soft voice and smile were always so nice to see and hear.
God Bless each of you and may you find comfort in knowing that others are thinking of you at this time.

Family,
As a child, I found your mom such a blessing to me. Thru the years I would see her from time to time and still see in her the wonderful Christian lady I knew as a child. God has received one of the best into his kingdom as we will surely miss here here on earth. My prayers are with all of you. Dr. Eakes know God will lift your burden of sorrow and will be by your side to comfort you through this trying time. Your former next door neighbor - Judith Reid Fergerson - Louisburg, NC

I am so sorry to see a great lovely lady in which I remember as a kid going to the dentist and seeing her smiling face at church (FBC). Dr Eakes my heart and prayers are with you and your family. May Christ Jesus bless and comfort you.
