We share in your grief, knowing that God is too wise to make an error and too just to be unkind. He has called your loved one from labor to reward and to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord.

Kim and Family, sorry to hear of the loss of your mom; as you know our families have history that goes back as far as I remember - 45 plus years. Your Mom will be truly missed, and I always enjoyed the visits, conversations, words of wisdom and encouragement she had to offer. I have some many fond memories of our families growing up on 23rd Street. God bless you and your family, stay strong.

John 14:1-3
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (NIV)

To The Bethea Family,
It was a shock to see Mrs. Bethea had been called home. It's been many years since Greater Walters saw me last. While I was there, she had the greatest influence upon me. Her kindness and giving made me feel welcome. Her smile made me feel good being around her. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go to you all..... Nanette Craine (Newport News, VA)
