There are some people you meet in life, even at an early age, that you just don't forget. Warren and Ginny were two of them. Allow God to carry each of you in His loving and comforting arms until He deems you strong enough to once again walk by His side.

Vicky, Janice, Johnny, & Benny,
We were so saddened to hear about the loss of your Mom. She was a wonderful Christian lady and all that knew her was blessed to have known her. She was a very kind and loving person. I know she loved all of you will all of her heart. She has been a true and faithful servant and her life is a beautiful testimony of that faithfullness. She never knew it but she had a big influence in my life as I was growing up together with all of you. She was one of those steady, strong pillars that we all need as children and that was how the Lord used her in my life. May the Lord comfort all of you in this difficult time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We love you all. Love, Lana & Bob
