"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." -I Thessalonians 4:13-14.
Visitation will be from 3:00-5:00 P.M. on Sunday afternoon at Valley Chapel in Homewood. The Funeral Service will be at Independent Presbyterian Church on Highland Avenue at 2:00 P.M. Monday.
