  Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe in me." John 14
  
  Proverbs 3:5-6 also instructs us to: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
  
  Prayerfully yours,

  I worked with Brenda at Macon State Prison and she was very sweet and gentle but could get rowdy when pushed. You will be truly missed and I will miss you most of all.

  Brenda was a joy to work with. I worked with her at Montezuma Health Care a few years ago 11/7. We had so fun together because she always keep you laughing. I am going to miss that smile she had every time I ran in to her somewhere in the streets. May God Bless You Brenda. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family.

  Jean was a joy to be around. I loved when she came to NC to visit with her brother Spencer and my sister Mary Carter. May God's love continue to comfort each of you in days ahead. She was a beautiful person and we will miss her here on earth but its up to us to live so that we will see her again one day. Make this choice today to live for Christ. Love to all of you!
