We realize you and your family maybe struggling to regain a sense of balance in your lives. Many of us know what life is like for you right now; however, please allow us to pray for you & yours. Every effort all of you made to be a son, daughter, sister, sister-in-law to MaryBelle was valid and meaningful; but as finite creatures, we are limited in our ability & efforts. Our faith is the only source we can turn to in times like these & God is our source of strength & comfort.
Please accept our prayers and witness on behalf of the Lord we serve. Allow the Lord of eternity to exist in the time of your sorrow and remember:”Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” Respectfully, Rev. T.G. Cobbs, Pastor; Elaine E. Wilson, Church Clerk
