My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It has been along time since I departed Live Oak, but many a fond memory and life directions were set by people such as your father.

Ronnie, Dave and family,
Was so sad to hear about Mr. Baldwin. My dad, Traverse, and him were always going fishing and watching football games together. They shared a lot of good times. They don't make men like our Dads anymore.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ken and family. I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Even though, I did not know him I remember you from North Fl Jr college in 1967-69. I played intramural basketball against your team and eventually played for NFJC.
It would be nice to hear from you and rehash old times. You at one time, lived right by the football field and watched all of Madison's home games. GOD bless and take care. Alton "Tik" Medders

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry I didn't get to know him a little better during his lifetime. I'm one of your cousins, Sarah Barnhill Bessonette's daughter Sally. I know Mama and Martha are going tomorrow. Take care.

Love,
Sally

Our sympathy and prayers are with your family. Meg Birchfield is a major part of our AT&T family and is a blessing to us.
For Christians, death is not an ending; it is the beginning. For Christian believers, the grave is not a final resting-place; it is a place of transition. Yet even when we know our loved ones are at peace with Christ, we still weep bitter tears, not so much for the departed as for ourselves. God promises that He is “close to the brokenhearted.” (Psalm 34:18)
