Melinda and Jonah, I am so very glad to have been able to see and minister to Mag on Sunday, and now to know she is FREE, WHOLE, TOTALLY HEALED and CELEBRATING for eternity with the Lord and the Heavenly Hosts. Be comforted by the peace that ONLY God can give during this time of her transition. And know that you helped her last days be the best days by loving on her like I witnessed you doing.

Mrs. Maggarie King Cluster was one of my favorite high school teachers. She was a great English teacher! The encouragement she gave me has gone with me throughout my adult life. I am so sorry for your loss. As saddened as I am by your loss, I am so grateful for all the richness Mrs. King brought into my life. She will be truly missed. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

To the King and McCluster, this is a family that we have known for a lot years. We were sad to hear of her death, but we know she is just sleeping. To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. So in the days, weeks, months, and years to come, we hope you find comfort in word of God. Revelation 21:4
Minister Harriett and James C.Jones and the Jones and Rouland Families
