    Dear family, I am sorry about the loss of your love one. The Bible promise that one day the dead will be restored to life by means of a resurrection (John 5:28,29). I hope this promise bring the family a measure of hope.

  2. Linda Clark, Corpus Christi, Texas says

    My prayers and sympathy to Uncle Lowe, Betty, and Debra.Love Linda Clark, Buford's daughter

  3. Phyllis Willison , says

    My thoughts are with the Brooks family. I am sorry you lost a loved one. As 1 Corinthians 15:26 states "as the last enemy death is brought to nothing." God and His Son Christ Jesus promised our loved ones will live again as Matthew 5:5 states "Blessed are the meek since they will inherit the earth." Psalms 37:29 mentions "the meek will inherit the earth and dwell therein forever." God promises in Revelation 21:1-5 He will make this earth just like it is new. There will be no more tears, pain, sorrow or death. Isn't that a wonderful promise from God?

  4. Mary Taylor, Little Rock, AR says

    Love to Ms. Debra Fowler. Her Mom had to be a very special person to have raised such a caring person as her daughter. I appreciate Ms. Fowler for her kindness at our job. I pray for peace and love surrounding you all.
