To the family: Please take care and cherish the memories. I know that I have not spoken to you all in years. Your mom was such a wonderful person. I remember the meetings at Lawless Elementary and the times she brought my mom back and forth to Winn-Dixie. I remember Davids' cute smile and Melanie soft voice. My sister Terri called me today, so I had to say a few words. Take care. Glenda West-Jordon from Andry Street in New Orleans.

To my cousin Carolyn (as Uncle Truman would say) you will be greatly missed. To my family I am so sorry I can't be there but my prayers are with you all.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. --2 Timothy 4:7-8

God bless you Lois, Jackie and the family of Carolyn. Sorry our family is unable to be with you at this time, but our thoughts and prayers are with you for your strength in the Lord. Eventhough Carolyn had been sick for a while the transition still leaves a void in the heart of every loved one. We are encouraged by the Word of God that a grand reunion is planned for all of us in Christ. He lets us know that the dead in Christ shall rise first and those of us who are alive and remain at His return shall be caught up TOGETHER to meet Him in the air. Keep the faith as we look forward to that day. Your cousin,
