Our precious and sweet Onnallee. I cannot recall all the wonderful memories that we have shared; for they are many. Worshiping our Lord together for over 28 years together. I will first commend your love for the Lord Jesus Christ and his work. Secondly, your faithfulness to our Church body and us as your Pastors. Thirdly, your intense passion for prayer. Thank you for all you have invested in Crossroads and us personally. May I say to your family that your example of love and faithfulness is beyond compare. Thank you for sharing your mothers time with us and the kingdom of Christ. Our prayers are with you always! Pastor and Debbie Brown.
A true prayer warrior interceding in heaven.Now she knows the unborn baby she prayed would be spared a late term abortion will be born in December.I never had a chance to tell her that. Thank You Lord, for Onnallee.
Onnallee was a true warrior for Christ. I would stand amazed as this awesome woman would pray for others and it were as though she had brought you into the very throne room of God. She could pray as though she were standing before the most high God. She left a mark upon my spirit and she was ALWAYS smiling and upbeat. We are going to miss her tremendously, but I know that the angels of heaven are rejoicing that another child of God has come home. Thank you to her family for allowing the rest of us the priviledge of knowing this AWESOME woman of God. You all are in our prayers.
I have been Onnalee’s letter carrier in Asheville for the last 10 years and always enjoyed her beautiful smile and her possitive thoughts when she would meet me at the mailbox. I will certainly miss her. She was a lovely lady. My prayers go out to all her family
ONNALIE & HUSBAND DUANE WERE TRUE FRIENDS,& I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR GOLF OUTINGS AND CARD GAMES…ALWAYS FUN PEOPLE
I worked with Onnallee years ago in Sarah Coventry. She was a wonderful person and great leader.
Wonderful and caring women who will be missed. Did not get to see her as much as I would have liked to over the years, and now that time is gone. Keeping in touch through mail was just not enough.
Love you and will miss you grandma.
Dear Jill and Harry,
Wow! What a wonderful picture of your Mom! This is just how I remember her…happy, cute & full of life!
We send our condolences and love to you and all your dear family. I am so sorry that we were not able to be with you for Onnallee’s Memorial service. We would have loved to be there.
This morning Mom read me her talk. It was so touching…I told her it sounded like Onnallee and like her!
Thank you for your love and care for Onnallee – and for our Mom.
Although we did not get to come up to Asheville for the Memorial Service, we will always remember Onnallee with much love and joy!
Love to you all,
