Deacon Roper and Family:

We extend our deepest sympathy to you and family. Mother Roper was such a sweet and dear mother in the Lord.

We deeply loved her, and appreciate all the wisdom that she shared with us over the years. Many things she said during church services has been a blessing to me down through the years.

I will always remember Mother Roper's joyful attitude as she entered the House of the Lord with a praise. We miss her already, but she is now resting in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Our prayers are with you now and through the days ahead. May God wrap his tender arms around you, and keep you in peace.

Love, The Lee Family, Sis. Eula Mae Edwards and Ms. Wilhemina Edwards (Walterboro, SC)

Dear Aunt Alice, I know you have unspeakable joy, right now. I am so glad for you; you are in the hands of your previous father with no chance of loosing out anymore. I miss you so much. Joyce and Aunt Annabell are so broken over you leaving. I told them, I can imagine you yelling "Thank God for Jesus!". Your voice was probably heard over all the angles celebrating. We all look forward to seeing you again. Until then, rest in Jesus. He was always the first and last thought in your mind.

To the family, I know this is so hard for you. God knows your pain. One day He will fill the void, and you will always have the beautiful memories. Aunt Alice will always be with you in spirit. To this end she lived, and to this end, she will always be with Jesus her heavenly father.

I love each of you, and I grieve with you, but remember Aunt Alice is free and will live forever!! The funeral is only for us.

Love, Sylvia Hege
