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.
I met this precious lady when I was just a little girl! A precious lady of God! She will be missed, but we know she is rejoicing in Heaven today!
Praying for Judy and all the family!

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.
So sorry for your loss, Rodney and Reggie! My condolences to your mom also.
