To The Family Of Mabel Welchons:



You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your mother. I knew Mable in BSF for such a short time, she was my teacher and a great one. She was radiant with the love of her Jesus.

I know her sister,Anna Mae, very well, because I grew up in Mango. Anna Mae and I now go to the same church. I know you will miss your mother very much. Your family is in my prayers.



God Bless All of You,

Mable's faith and trust in God to see her through the stormy times in her life was a real inspiration to me. Her life was a reflection of Christ. She has been healed and she is with Jesus now!

I am the Grandaughter of Elva Elwell, who is a 1st cousin of Mable. I did'nt get to see Mable often, but when I did, I always considered it to be a TREAT! She was a VERY SPECIAL person & a very LOVED PERSON! She will be missed deeply by many! I will not be able to attend the funeral service, but I want ALL to know that my THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS are w/all that loved her!
