Dear Ivan and Family,
Richard and I would like to express our sorrow in your loss. We were so sad to hear this sad news. Linda was such a special person and we were honored to have known her. We spent many happy times together.
Richard is sick and we will be unable to come at this time. For this I am so sorry.
Ivan, we will try to get to see you at another time.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We have both been in your place and know how sad it is to have to part with someone you love so much and someone that loved you.
Try hard to remember a happy time with Linda that brings a smile to your face.
Diane & Richard Franks

Dear Williams Family and Friends,
You are in our prayers and thoughts. May Our God give you comfort at this time of loss. Matthew 5:4 says, "Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted." May His loving arms surround you and give you peace. God bless each of you as we continue to lift you up in prayer. When Mom and I would come to visit our Ebenezer Family, Linda would always greet us with a smile and a hug. We will miss Linda and her kindness.
Prayer, Grace and Peace

Abide With Me

Words by Henry F. Lyte, 1847
Music by William H. Monk, 1861


Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
