Services 10 a.m. today, Pleasant Hill B.C. FREEMAN FUNERAL HOME (601) 394-5104. A year has past since God, placed His arms around you and said "Come with me." A heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest; God broke our hearts but proved, He only takes the best. With tearful eyes we stayed with you, but watched you fade away, although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

In life we love you still, in our hearts you hold a place no one can ever fill. Greatly missed By: Family, Eric (The Foster Chapel Missionary Baptist Church Family Friends). iwiM life.
