Good Morning, Carol: ... In the Daily Press today is the obituary for Zatha Ann Franks Parker Barnes. She passed away on September 2 and the visitation will be tonight, Wed., Sept. 4th, at Peninsula Funeral Home. The time is 06:00 p.m. until 08:00 p.m. ......The funeral will be tomorrow, Sept. 5th at 02:00 p.m. at Warwick River Mennonite Church with the burial being after the service, across the road (Lucas Creek) in the Mennonite Cemetery......I remember Zatha being a Methodist in high school. Chestnut Avenue Methodist, as I recall. The last time I saw Zatha was at a funeral home visitation. She was a kind and sweet person.....due to being diabetic, she was nearly blind, sad to say. She was in the class of 1962. Unfortunately, she was not at her 50 year reunion last year......I did a memorabilia display for that reunion. I will be doing one for the class of 1963 this year at the same location. I truly love to see all the people that I would probably never see again and those whom I vividly remember in high school.
Thank you so much, Fred.

Hi, Carol,
I went to Zatha's funeral
today and there was a nice crowd there, at Warwick River Mennonite
Church. She was buried in the church cemetery across the road.....It was
a nice tribute to a special person. Most people today call her Ann, her
middle name.....I always knew her as Zatha, however.
Thank you again, Fred. I'll
always remember her as Zatha, too.

Y'all take good care of each other! TYPHOONS FOREVER! We'll Always Have
Buckroe!Love to all, Carol

No. 45 - I Know That My Redeemer Liveth
- G. F. Handel
I know that my
Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
(Job 19:25-26)
For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep.
(I Corinthians 15:20)
