Ted & Family:
I was very sorry to hear of your precious mother’s passing. Her picture was just that of a beautiful angel which she was. I remember when I worked with you at Ingles many years ago of her coming into the store. She loved her children. She went to be with Jesus on His birthday to celebrate His Birth & the day He came to earth to save us all from our sins. I & my church family will be lifting you & your family up in prayers as you face these difficult days ahead without her but know she is in heaven, where she wanted to go when the time that Jesus would call for her. Just let her memory remain alive in your heart until you meet with her either in the air when Jesus comes for all His children or when we ourselves are called away to be with Him & our loved ones who have gone on before us. You can reply to me on my E-mail at teressawarren@rocketmail.com. I’d love to talk to you. May God give you comfort.
We are sorry to here about Ruth, She
was a good friend to our family. If you need anything Charles & Tammy then let us know.Your In our prayers
