Obituary For Mrs. Jeanette Anderson
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, but such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound and foam, when that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness or farewell, When I embark; For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.

“We're Not Just a Funeral Home, We're A Family Serving Your Family"
Family, take hold to comfort of words that Jesus gave to His disciples:
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 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. 3 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. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going." John 14:1-4 (NIV)

To the Anderson Family from Stephen Sr and Annette (Lois) Mathis and Family, you all have our sympathy with love during this difficult time.
If We Understood by Anonymous
Could we but draw back the curtains That surround each other's lives, See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we should find it better, Purer than we judged we should, We should love each other better, If we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives, See the good and bad within, Often we should love the sinner All the while we loathe the sin; Could we know the powers working To o'erthrow integrity, We should judge each other's errors With more patient charity. If we knew the cares and trials, Knew the effort all in vain, And the bitter disappointment, Understood the loss and gain— Would the grim, eternal roughness Seem—I wonder—just the same? Should we help where now we hinder, Should we pity where we blame? Ah! we judge each other harshly, Knowing not life's hidden force; Knowing not the fount of action Is less turbid at its source; Seeing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good; Oh! we'd love each other better, If we only understood.
Ms. Jeanette never mistreated me or spoke a harsh unkind word to me and I really appreciate that. She always treated people with love and compassion. She truly had a heart of compassion and servitude. Thanks for all your kindness towards my mother and me.

The other note of sympathy was from First United Methodist Church and Laura Leonard.
It was my joy to work with Jeanette for many years at Valdosta First United Church. Much sympathy to all who love her from the staff and members of First United Church.
To Darryl and family. May the work she have done speak for her. Always had a smile on her face, very soft spoken. I know that she will truly be missed by her family and friends. Just look to the hill for your strength will come from the Heavenly Father.
My friend will be missed greatly, but always cherished in my heart!
Ms. Mary Pitts
