  1. Mary K Moore Woodruff
    Prayers for peace and comfort to all of you in Mary Elizabeth's family, and to the Rock Springs Community. I know she was loved by many and will be missed. She was a great friend to my Mother Mary Patrick, and rarely missed a day without calling her. Mother loved her dearly and is very saddened.

    Papaw, Sherrill, Ron, Jan, and Bobby I want to thank each and everyone one of you for the opportunity that yall gave me to care for Mawmaw. We grew close to each other in the past year and it was my honor to take care of her. She taught me alot about life and we had our share of trial times, but each and every one of them ended with a hug and an "I love you." She was a determined woman and she never gave up. She taught me to fight for what I want and believe that all things were possible. She was an amazing, quick witted and beautiful woman. She will forever hold a "Special" place in my heart. Yall have accepted me, Casey and Porter into your family and we are truly blessed each and every day for all of yall. Loretta Barker

    Hope of a new world is found in God’s inspired Word, the Bible, which states: “[God] will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) This will include bringing back dead ones from the grave. As the apostle Paul wrote: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15) Jesus and the apostles demonstrated this by resurrecting dead ones.—Luke 7:11-16; 8:40-42, 49-56; John 11:1, 14, 38-45; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12. Life on earth in a new world, including life for dead ones raised from the grave, will be beautifully crowned with human perfection. God’s healing power will make the minds and bodies of all living completely sound: “No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”! I'm very sorry for your lose. May God's words seek to comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl
