I pray that that the Lord will bless all the family with his peace that passes all understanding. Mrs. Veola always treated me with great kindness and I know she will be missed by everyone.

A precious lady has gone home - and what a reunion is taking place! With her beloved husband, son, brothers, sister, and a host of other relatives and friends. She always exemplified a true Christian. She will be missed by her earthly family, but she is celebrating her homecoming. Her family will miss her, but should be comforted by Veola's lifetime of Christian service! God bless all of you.
