Family, hoping that you recall the teaching of your parents in the ways of the Lord. I often thought of Mrs. Birdie who always entreated me as a daughter each time I'd get the pleasure of either talking in the phone to her before my many moves or from the occasions when I'd get to visit her and Mr. John. Stay walking with Jesus Christ just as your parents taught you; we will remain; uplifting to our God through His Son; your steadfast and unmovable hope of peace in this day and that to come. Still remembering you all ... Vonnie and Family -Opelika
