To Jimmy and Family: It was with sadness that I learned Mrs. Telecia had been hospitalized, but I fully expected her to pull through as she had so many times before. Especially after she asked for her Bible! God had other plans, and I know that she is in that place where no hurt can ever touch her again, and that is our comfort--knowing that she made it over. Duane and I love you, and we pray the peace that only the Father can bring over you all right now during the loss of Mrs. Telecia.
Much love, Bridget, Duane & Wright Funeral Home
