Philippians 1:21-23 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

Memorial services will be held 6:30 PM Sunday, January 30, 2022 at Word of Faith Fellowship with Rev. Sam Whaley and Rev. Jane Whaley officiating.
