So very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Tommie was such a sweet lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
As a remarkable lady in many ways, Mrs. Tommie Harper left a wonderful legacy that will be cherished by all those who knew her. Her gentle kindness, her dedication to the Lord, her love for her family, her pride and joy she expressed for her grandsons, her loving concern for others–these are just some of the things that characterized her life. She will be dearly missed, but our sorrow is softened by knowing she has gone to a much better place where she is now in the presence of our Lord and with fellow believers in Christ. We extend our sympathy and prayers to the family. May God’s Word and His Holy Spirit (the “Comforter”) provide strength, comfort, and assurance in this time of sorrow. Billy and Gail Booth
