I’ll always have fond memories of Earline. As a usher at Starnes Cove Church, I always tried to be there to assist her when Neil drove her to the front of the church before Sunday School. She will truly be missed, and my condolenses go out to the family.
My deepest sympathy goes to Earline’s son, Dennis, whom I consider as one of my dearest friends. May God comfort him during this sad time in his life.
PRAYING THAT YOU FIND COMFORT IN THE MEMORIES THAT ARE YOURS TO CHERISH ALWAYS, AND STRENGTH IN THE COMPANIONSHIP OF THOSE WHO SHARE YOUR LOSS. YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS AND MAY GOD BLESS AND BE A COMFORT TO YOU.
Neil, We are so sorry about the death of your Mother. She was a very sweet lady. She is going to be missed at church by everyone. Our love and prayers are with you during this time.
