I will always have such fond memories of the McCracken household on N Rhett and visiting with Aunt Gloriia, Uncle Clifton and my cousins when we came to Charleston. I thank God for her life and pray for the Lord's comfort and peace to be with all your family at this time of bereavement. I thank God for His promise that we can one day be reunited with our loved ones that have gone on before us by placing our faith and trust on the finished work of the cross where Jesus shed His blood so that we could gain His righteousness through faith. My family and i send our prayers and thoughts to the McCracken family. All our love, Soams,Silvia, Kristina,Sara, and Maria Shifflett.
Phillipians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior,the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.
