Its been a while since you left us But I still miss and love ou so verry much your bff Sue
Melissa, my dear Melissa.....you probably may not remember me but I knew your Mom and all of you. I attended church with you at Mars Hill and even taught you in Sunday School. I know you are going to miss your Mom so much and I just want you to know that I am praying for you that God will give you peace and comfort. Don't be afraid to cry. Cry out to God and He will comfort you. I love you sweetheart.
Terry, Doug, Michelle, Chris and the rest of the family. I don't know if you remember me but maybe you will if I just say I am Cammie's Mom and we went to church together at Mars Hill for many years. I am so sorry to hear about Jean. I did not even know she was sick. I would have loved to have seen her one more time. She was always such an encouragement to me when I was struggling with so many things. Sometimes she would just slip me a scripture on a piece of paper. I loved her so much and I know you all did. I pray for peace and comfort for all the family. Be blessed and keep on serving our Heavenly Father and we will all be together again some some time soon. Luvyall
