To the Family,
I thank God for putting your Mom and Dad in my life. The years I spent in the Happy Hearts are great memories. Seeing how 'Mama Heart' would work so hard making dresses for the ladies and curtains for the bus. She could make a sewing machine fly. Anything that she set her mind to, Mama Heart could. One of the verses I had quoted to me many times was 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'.
During my time with the Happy Hearts, Mama Heart was famous for a lot of things. Her buscuits were amazing, I loved eating at their house because she usually made buscuits. Maybe it was she new that I liked them but they were great. Another thing that stood out was Mama Hearts quick mind but words would get twisted up sometimes and she would say the funniest things. We had some great times running those back roads to small country churches, never really knowing what you'd find till you got there.
It wasn't all about "us" as far as the singing but it was about getting the message of Jesus Christ to the people we sang to. Our effecive witness for Christ was the centerpoint of the ministry of "The Happy Hearts". What could we do to make someones burden a little lighter or draw them closer to Jesus. That's were I was inspired the most by Garmon and Christine Conner. Their dedication and service to God was first and foremost in their lives.
I will always remember them.

I will miss 'Mama Heart' and those years of 'Happy Heart' travels with her and 'Daddy Heart' are some of the best memories of my life.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the family of Mrs. Christine Conner,
Mrs. Conner really touched my life during her hospital stay on 9 South. She was such a delightful woman and I have missed her so much since the day she was discharged from Roanoke Memorial. I will always remember her family's kindness and her love for strawberries. She was in my prayers since the day she left and her family will also forever be in my prayers.
Love in Christ,
Kaitlyn, Nursing Assistant

My name is Steve Pegram. I worked with Kerry Lawrence who is the daughter of Mrs. Conner. I had never met Mrs. Conner but I wanted to express my sympathy to Kerry and all of her family members. The bible tells us that those who pass away from this earth who know Christ as their savior have a home in heaven not made with mans hands. My prayer for all who read this is for Christs peace to comfort each one. For those who know Christ who lose christian loved ones that there will be a great reunion one day for those who know him. May the Lord draw near to all of you and bless you.

Robin, Tonya, Chris and families, we are sorry to hear Mama Christine has gone to be with Jesus but we know she is in a much better place. The suffering has ended and as you've said she's walking, singing, and glorifying her Savior. We pray that God will comfort you and give you peace. She was a very special person to our family.

My name is Barbara Manning Webb and wish to convey my condolencies at this time to the family. I never met Christine but her father was my grandmother's brother {Beulah Wimmer Manning}.We used to go up to Uncle Willie's farm. I have been trying to do research on the family but don't have contact with any of the cousins.
I am sure Christine is with many angels now.Have peace that she is at peace.
