We are so sorry to learn of the death of Frances. She was a great lady and we always enjoyed spending time with her when we went to church during the week for something. She was the kind of person a pastor would love to have for a secretary. May the Lord bless all of the family.

Momma G, Tonya, Bo, Uncle Don, and Morris, Stephen and I are so saddened by Nannies death, but we know that she has fought the fight, and this morning, her fight was over. The Lord took one of the sweetest ladies I have ever had the priveledge to know home to be with Him. I was so proud to be considered one of her own, and then when I met Stephen she took him right in just like she did me many, many years ago. Stephen loved Nannie just like I did. She always reminded me of my Mammaw. I will always remember sitting and talking with her, and she was always so loving and caring. She never met a stranger, she was kind to every person that she came in contact with. Nannie will be greatly missed here on this earth, but we will see her again one day. She is in heaven now with the Lord and all those family members who went before her. Heaven has a new angel now, and when our day comes, Nannie will meet us there. I pray that God will surround you with His loving grace, and give you a peace that passes ALL understanding. Just know that Stephen and I love you all very much, and if there is anything at all that we can do, please do not hesitate to let us know.
