Thank you so

To the family, Sarah was a wonderful Christian, a great mother, grandmother and friend to all. She will be sorely missed at Parkview Baptist Church. She showed great love for her Christ, her Church, children of all ages, and music. She was a long-time member of our We Care-We Share Circle. I know she is in a better place - seeing 20/20 and singing in the Heavenly Choir. |

| My mother (Dorothy Tench Simon) was very upset to hear that Aunt Sara passed away. Her brother notified her after Jim called Eddie. My mom thought the world of Uncle Doug and Aunt Sara and is sadden by her loss but she told me that she knows Aunt Sara is with the Lord and is at peace now. Please know that the entire Simon Family expresses their sadness for your loss. Sorry for the late notice I was out of Town and my mother just told me yesterday evening.

| Mrs. Witcher was an angel, and I will always remember how much she gave of herself when helping me in Vacation Bible School. She gave 100% and was truly a Godly woman. I was saddened to hear of her death, but I know she is happy now and has a place in God's home. I loved her! |

Oh, How I Love Jesus
Words by Frederick Whitfield;
Traditional American Melody
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
chorus:
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
It tells me of a Saviour's love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner's perfect plea.
(chorus)
It tells me what my Father hath,
In store for every day,
And tho' I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.
(chorus)
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe,
Who in each sorrow bears a part,
That none can bear below.
(chorus)
