In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not…And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. John 1:1-5, 14
And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
This is also the first Christmas we will share without 3 very special people and each will be be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Henry Otis - My husband's great-great-uncle passed away January 1, 2008. He was truly a sweet, Christian man. He used to make the best candy ever and he shared several recipes with me, which I will always treasure. We will all miss his smiling face this Christmas.
Alvin "Jiggs" Evers - My great uncle passed away May 14, 2008. He was diagnosed with cancer in January was only given 6 weeks to live but he lived 4 months. He was always the life of the party and ALWAYS had a joke to tell. He loved his garden and always sent vegetables home with us and made home-made pepper relish. I have so many good memories of Jiggs and his dogs that the bad memories from his being so sick have already started to fade. We will sorely miss Jiggs this year and in the years to come.
Vicki Duncan - Mrs. Vicki passed away September 14, 2008. If my mother had a twin it would be Mrs. Vicki - not in looks but in how much they love their girls, and worry about them, and want the very best for them. My mom was so protective of my sister and me and but she always trusted us with Mrs. Vicki. She will always have a very special place in my heart. Jenn, Lisa & Mr. Jim - we are praying for you and thinking of you this Christmas.
On a happier note...my sweet doggie Pepper wants to wish everyone a Merry Christmas as well!
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
