Debbie, Betty and children, I'm so very sorry of your loss! I remember the birthday party for Aunt Bessie sometime back and she was so taken with her children and family. I remember her getting them all together for the mower ride, I guess her Pa-paw Ray made those cute little barrel cars. Though I was not around her much I could tell she had a precious spirit and love for her family. I pray God will give you comfort and peace during this difficult time. Psalm 91

Ms. Debby,
I was saddened to hear about Amanda yesterday. I remember her as a very sweet young girl that was so loving. She took such good care of my Kaitlyn when we were in Jonesboro and I know she was a great mom. She will be greatly missed and it is only goodbye for now.

Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, troubles or heartaches. It means to be in the midst of all these things and still be calm in your heart. I am wishing you this Peace as I send prayers for you and your family and the children who are dealing with this loss. God will bless you all.
