Bro.& Sister Welch, Over the past few days my family and I have fondly remembered Amanda, and your intire family, we had a few laughs, remembering when they were so young and cute, and If I remember right we were too, young anyway, and the love we have had for you all over the years. I hope you know that I may have been absent in the physical but your family has always been in my heart. We love you

Pastor & Family Just to let you know how very sorry we are and to let you know that we love all of you.Know that all of your church family is lifting you up in prayer, just the way you have taught us to pray when someone loses a loved one. We all thank God for the moments of Grace she had for God to fulfill his promise of Salvation to you, and we know He did. May God now cover you and the family with His love and Grace in the days ahead. Wanda Morgan & family
