Nancy, Our heartfelt sympathy and love go out to you, Ron and the children during this difficult time. Your Mom left you with such a wonderful legacy of what a loving and genteel Southern lady is all about; a godly woman that gave so much of herself to her family, friends, church and community. Of course she instilled those same qualities in you, her beautiful daughter, which endears you to everyone you meet. We pray that the Lord will provide all you need as He strengthens and sustains you in the days ahead. May you feel His loving presence and peace. We love you! Linda & Buddy

Aunt Mary, and Uncle John, were very inspirational to me growing up and will continue to be a great part of my life. I still remember her cooking, putting in tobacco and the great times I shared with you, Eddie and Nancy, among other cousins, aunts and uncles. God bless you and your family as she goes to rest in God's hand. Love to you both. Jim, Beverly, David, Darren and Michelle Comer

To The Smith Family: I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear love one. Words cannot express the pain and sorrow that you feel. But, please keep in mind God's promise found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." You have my sincere condolence.
