Nothing else in this world really matters if we fail to obey His Will. The oft repeated scripture of Micah 6:8 “O man what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with the Lord”. To my dear family and friends, I would like to say: “To let you know I’m with you on the “Special Day” although you cannot see me; I’m around you everywhere. I loved you all so very much and I know you loved me too. Just remember I am awaiting each of you on our promised judgment day. May God give each of you a special blessing in the days ahead.” Arrangements by the Humphreys County Funeral Home (931) 296-5955
