Carrie and your brothers and sisters whom I havehknown since our early years having grown up on Arch Street are like family. When you hurt, we hurt. My prayers and constant thoughts are a part of my day since bearing of your loss. Hold your bead high and walk in the knowledge that Our Father in Heaven rolled out the welcome mat when the trumpet sounded and the roll was called and she was welcomed to her new home. Remember, she is not gone but has a new address where you will see her again when you answer the role call. May the Spirit of Our Saviour abide in each of you always. Love and Prayers carry you through these difficult times. Rev A.B. and Jean Bell Turner.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
