And while I'm sorry she had to go, I feel she's in the presence of the Lord - she's in a better place. To her husband and children, sisters & brothers and other family and friends, I extend my deepest sympathy in the loss of such a sweet person. May God bless you.

Since the beginning of time God has been planting flowers on this earth for all to enjoy, Mrs Lewis was without a doubt one of those beautiful flowers. And while God gives us the chance to enjoy those flowers there comes a time when God picks those flowers to place in His home, and while we will miss her very much down here I know we will see her again in God's house.

With deepest sympathy my heart goes out to you Pastor Lewis and your family. I know that life will be difficult for a while but God makes no mistakes when He picks his flowers, and Momma Lewis' work spoke for her. I pray that your grief will be short and your joy in the time you spent together and the memories will be forever.
God bless you and give you peace.

Dr. Rodrick Lewis and family I truely share in your lost ,however, Kay had a charge to keep with our Heavenly Father where she no longer has to suffer pain. To God be the Glory and He will keep you and your family in His perfect Will. Kay's beautiful smiles and careing for others will be missed but hold on to God's hands He will bring you all through.
Forgetting what is behind and straning toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:7,8, 13, 14. Knowing Kay as I do I'm sure she would leave these words.
Love Always

To The Lewis and Wylie Families: Kay was one of my dearest friends as well as one of my classmates. We often visited and had lunch together. Kay was a sweetheart and didn't mind telling it like it was. So happy was I to spend some time with her during her last night on this side. May your memories bring you comfort. While we all loved Kay, know that God loved her best. May the peace and love of God be with you all.
