I very vividly remember Brother Ralph and Sister Ruth. They were two of the kindest people I have ever known. Heaven certainly gained an angel yesterday.

Sister Copeland was such a wonderful inspiration to me. She was so kind, considerate, and listened intently. She gave me sound advice on more than one occasion. She truly showed Christ's love to all who knew her. I know she is rejoicing with the One she served faithfully all of these years, along with her precious husband. Reminds me of the song, "Thank you for giving to the Lord, I was a life that was changed." Praying for Judy, Rodney and Reggie during this difficult time.
