MR. ALLEN,
I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND I PRAY THAT GOD KEEPS YOU SAFE IN HIS ARMS AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS TIME OF GRIEF. I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST MET ETHEL AND SHE TOLD ME A STORY OF HOW GOD HAD TOLD HER YOU WOULD BE HER HUSBAND, SHE SAID SHE WAS NOT RECEIVING IT, BUT THEN GOD SPOKE TO HER AGAIN AND SHE HUMBLED HERSELF BEFORE GOD AND WAS OBEDIENT. SHE ALWAYS TOLD ME SHE LOVED YOU AND ONLY WANTED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND ONLY WANTED THE BEST FOR YOU. MR. ALLEN, KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED BY SO MANY AND WE ALL ARE JUST A PHONE CALL AWAY.

LOVE ALWAYS,
PAT BUIE & FAMILY

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

To Ethel Family
May GOD bless and keep youll in your time of sorrow.Please take comfort in the good time that youll shared with her.Ethel and I became close and my heart is heavey also,but I will take comfort in knowing that she died knowing the Lord,and to die in Christ is to gain.She will be missed by all who she has touched with her life.Just know that another angel has gotten her wings, and she will be watching over us.

Shawn, Michelle, and Nikki,
I am sorry for your loss but please take comfort in the memories that you have of your Mom. She was a beautiful person and is now resting. When you begin to feel uneasy, read Psalm 23. Please know that I am here for you all. May God continue to bless and keep you.
