When our family heart aches, our heart aches along with you. As believers in CHRIST, we must accept HIS will, but when you lose your Mom – It hurts! But find comfort in knowing she is resting with the LORD. In all things we still give HIM the highest praise. We pray that GOD will send his angels to comfort our family, and the tears we shed now will be replaced with the loving memories of Aunt Maggie. Love Johnny, Diann, John & Tiff

To The Family,
Please Accept My Heartfelt Condolences. Truly the loss of a precious loved one is most difficult. Please find comfort in the promise our most loving Heavenly Father Jehovah God gives us in Revelation 21:4″And He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more; neither will mourning; nor outcry; nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes, We can look forward to a time soon to come when all suffering including death will be done away with forever.

Our heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to the Edwards and Bates Families. Another Colonial Heights soul has left us. Magnolia was a very compassionate, quiet, dedicated, and sweet lady. She was a role model and set an example for her brothers, children, and others to follow. She will be sorely missed. May GOD provide the strength to sustain the families during their time of grieving! GOD bless you all!
