We have a great future bought by a perfect Redeemer with pure, omnipotent, omniscient love.

John I am so sorry for your loss. You Mom always had a smile. She was faithful to Ridgewood Baptist Church and Sunday School when she was visiting in Forrest City. We enjoyed her on Sunday School Class. She was faithful to pray for her family. She always wanted prayer for your family and her grandchildren. She was a prayer warrior. We will miss Zelma. God bless Mary Ann Carter
