Message: Aunt Viola and family my sincere condolences. I'm sorry I will not be there with you but I will be there in spirit. I will always remember Lou as a sweet and loving person. She didn't play about Aunt Viola. Lou always remembered me even though it might have been a couple of years that she had seen me. The last time I saw her she made me a bracelet and colored me a picture I'm so glad I still have them. Lou you will be missed.

“I heard a voice speaking from the throne: Now God’s home is with people! He will live with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them, and He will be their God.” (Rev. 21:3)
To The Family of Ms. Mary Louise Hobbs
We know this is a time of transition for you. Yes the physical side of death hurts; but once we have the time to recollect our thoughts, Jesus comes in and soothes our every sadness.
Sometimes God’s will, is not what we will, yet we know He is a Wonderful, Awesome, Almighty, Loving Father! Please take time as we know you will, to remember the good things you shared with your loved one. May all of you find peace that only Jesus Himself can give.
Our prayers are with you all. May the love of Jesus the Christ continue to rest in you.
With Blessings,
Bishop Richard W. Johnson, Pastor
