Marvin, Harry, and Sue: As a member of Biltmore Church, I had the privilege of meeting and visiting with Mrs McCracken on many occasions during her later years; the past year limited by COVID. We had many sweet talks of her life journey, filled with family, friends, and those whom she treasured. She loved the Lord and her family. I will always remember her sweet, sweet spirit. She was a precious lady who enriched my life. My sympathy and prayers for the family. Carolyn Fuqua
