As we grow up we remember people who made a difference in our lives. I am so thankful for Arlene and all that she was. She always had a kind heart and sweet smile. No matter what the occasion she would pray with you or for you. She was a mother to so many of us growing up at Tabernacle.. and the moment Bro Stan played the piano, those of us who played were amazed.... such a blessing to have them In our lives, and what a testimony for all of us to live up to. A mother, a wife, a grandmother, a great grandmother and a friend. Its a blessing to know someone who has not changed their ways to fit the world. She would pray for you and open her home to you, My heart is heavy for all of your family.. but I know heaven is rejoicing that you and Bro Stan are reunited. Your parents never leave you, they live on in your memories and your heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. I am so thankful for salvation and the promise of seeing our loved ones again in heaven. Hold on to your memories and each other until we are all together again.
My heart was saddened at the loss of Sister Hodges. All my teenage year her and Bro. Hodges would pick us up and took us to church. Oh, how many memories we made on that church bus! She is now rejoicing as she laid eyes on her Lord.
