Mrs. Blackbun will truly be missed. She and Mr. Godsey were so special to our Jason as they taught him in Sunday School. He always loved the stories they could tell him about his Daddy growing up in Glenwood! She shared the talents God gave her with our church and now the music just became a litle sweeter in heaven. Please know there are prayers being lifted up for all the family.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love this scripture. "Rest in God alone, my soul, for my hope comes from Him. (Psalm 62:5) I know God will give you a peace and comfort you during this time. I have been thinking of so many great memories of Aunt (Tenn.) Mary. She was such a Godly woman. She inspired me in many ways. I will talk to you soon. Love always, Susan, Butch and Mary Elizabeth
