My Condolences And Prayers To The Family Mrs McBride Has Been In My Children's An My Life For Over Thirty Years. Praying For Comfort To Charlean And Grands. Josephine Bellamy And Family
To the Family of Mrs. McBride, I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Julia and Charlene a few years ago, through her niece, Mary Tate. She not only opened her heart to me, but also her home and extended true southern hospitality. From the first day I met Mrs.Julia, she became my "Aunt Julia" also. We ate some of the most delicious foods, went to church, and I cannot forget the hot donuts that melt in your mouth. We stayed in touch with one another and it was so good to see her again this past summer.
Charlene, Momma has finished the race and is resting from her labor. She has fought the good fight of faith and has received her crown of righteousness. Charlene, my prayers are with you and the family. May God continue to comfort you in the days ahead. Allow your memories to add comfort and peace as you face each new day. Leaning on God's Promise, Kay Bratton
