Pastor and David
We are keeping you in our prayers. Having just walked this path with the passing of our Mother, Liz in October and our Father, Philip in November we understand the earthly void you feel. What has been of the greatest comfort to us is knowing they like your mother were saved and ready to go home to be with the Lord. Faith Hope and Love,... Faith in the Lord, Hope that we too might see His glory, and Loved so much that He sent His Son for us. God's love is great and with Him on our side all things are possible.
Peace be yours...

Robert and Family,
We are so sorry about the loss of your mother. We think of when we would run into both of you at "eating places", even in North Carolina. We always joked about whether you were following us or if we were following you. (smile). Please accept our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God Bless.

Pastor Livesay,

Tommy and I send you and your family our deepest sympathy. The pain and sorrow that you are feeling now will soon turn into beautiful memories. I can hear "Ma" now in that wonderful choir in heaven, singing with the angels.
Your church family is here for you.

In Christian Love,
Tom & Doris Worley

We are confident, I Say, and willing rather to

be absent from the body, and be present with the

lord.

What a beautful site that must be.

Be strong Robert for the lord is by your side

and you friends are backing him up.

Ma, Paw and Baby Livesay are all in good hands.

Robert, David and family,

When we feel we can take no more, the Lord will come to our rescue and He did just that this morning around 4:00AM. We praise God that you were there with your ma, surrounding her with the love that she has taught you to have and to show others.

We know that this is a difficult time for you and feel your hurt as well as your joy that she is now in heaven with a clear mind, beautiful voice and not hurting one bit. I can hear her singing now, along with the angel choir. We express our deepest sympathy, love and desire to help in any way we possibly can.

I read the following by Richard J. Foster.....
"We can be assured of this: God, who knows all and sees all, will set all things straight in the end. Even better, He will dry every tear." Trusting you are feeling His loving arms around you right now!

Love, Hugh and Agnes Mumford
