Taylor Family, Carl and I join with you as you give thanks and praises for a life well lived. Sister Murry Lee exemplified the saying, "Be the light!" She was someone who shared joy, laughter, and love with her family and to others throughout the community. You have such a wonderful legacy in Sister Murry Lee. The first time I (Linda) saw her was at the doctor's office decades ago. I felt better just listening and looking at her. Whenever Carl talks about Sister Murry Lee, he smiles and talks about a fond memory of her. She was so beautiful with that smile so bright; you could see and feel the love and comfort of God shining through. Best of all, she never changed! Much prayer and love, Linda and Carl Bishop

Believers Who Have Died 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord's word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. Death doesn't end the love you shared. It simply transforms it. Praying for strength and God's peace that surpasses understanding that HE promised to those who love HIM for you all. -Belinda Mobley
