Edith’s sister, Rue Rogers, is a member of our church. If Edith was anywhere near as sweet as Rue, she was an exceptional woman–and I’m sure she was. I visited with Rue yesterday and prayed with her. She was so sad to see sis go. I know you are. The prayers of Pole Creek Baptist Church are with you as you grieve. Thank God that through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we have the hope of heaven and a great reunion day.
Dear Gail, I am sorry to read of your Mother’s passing. Angels are rejoicing! ‘Heaven is surely worth it all’. We will remember your family in our prayers.
I am very glad I was able to see you the other night even though the circumstances were not good. Especially after so many years.
Keep the faith. Love and condolances to you and all the family.
My thoughts are with you and your family as you go through this sadness.
Thinking of you and all your family at this time. I always enjoyed talking with Edith when we got the chance and kept in touch about her through Rue during these last few years. I do have fond memories of her. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Mrs. Vaughn Rogers (Ruby)
