  15. I was so sad to hear the news yesterday about Bernita. She will be greatly missed by our church family. It was always a joy to meet her in the hallway at church after Sunday School and talk with her. I will miss our conversations! There was no doubt she loved her family and her grandchildren! Our prayers are with you all at this time. May the Lord provide His comfort in the days ahead.

  24. Travis, Renita, Peyton and KP, So very sorry for your loss. You and all your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks and months ahead. The death of someone close to us is a pain we never fully recover from, you just learn to endure, and adjust but sadly life is never the same. Cling to the wonderful memories, they will help you through. Felicia

  30. Travis, Bobby, et al. This is just so disturbing, she was so young. Joyce and I are truly saddened by your loss. There is just not a whole lot to say other than how sorry we are. This loss will be with you for sometime, always, if the same as mine when I was young. I hope you and the family bear the loss as best you possibly can. We are thinking of you. Larry & Joyce
