To the Haney family: A beautiful person, inside and out, and a beautiful life, well-lived. I've known Mrs. Haney since I was a little girl growing up at First Baptist. She was a wonderful example of the virtuous woman described in Proverbs. I offer my sympathies for your loss, but celebrate in the knowledge that she is at home with her Lord and reunited with her Tom. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
