Guestbook

  1. Uncle O'Neal and Ruth Ann. I am sorry to hear about Aunt Mattie Ruth's leaving us. She will always be special to me. She quilted two wedding ring quilt tops Pat's grandmother had pieced and I can pass on to my children. She was so sweet to me. God Bless you and your family.

  2. I want to take a moment to honor this wonderful lady. She was my dedicated Sunday school teacher for many years. I have carried her teachings with me throughout my life. She made a profound impact on me as well as all her students. I know she prayed for each of us many times throughout the years. She was so knowledgeable about God's word and faithful to the end. I know God said to her, "Well done my good and faithful servant."
