God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. ~<3~ Holly
Dear Bonnie, Randy and Sharon…on behalf of Rhyburn, and myself, we are deeply sorry for your loss. Rhyburn always spoke of Gene in heartfelt terms and thought him to be one of the kindest people he had ever known and was proud to be his brother. While Rhyburn will not be able to attend the graveside service,or the visitation, due to physical limitations, he asked me to convey, by my presence at the visitation, that Gene will remain in our hearts and memories. God bless all of you…..Patricia Pat Allen.
To the family of Mr. Huddleston:
Please allow me to express my condolence to one and all in your family.It is understood by reading the condolences of others that your loved one was quite dear to others as well. It is my hope that you, as family and friends, shall be able to provide comfort and encouragement during the time of your loss. Please accept my care and encouragement provided by the Bible. When you can, please give genuine attention to an experience found at JOHN 11:5 to 45. Therein, Jesus lost a dear loved one, a close friend.

May all take care and may the living God grant comfort to you all.
