My sister was a survivor of cancer in May 1995 she began a long journey, until June 04, 2003, she fought this disease like the champion she was, she knew that the mercy of God kept her and on each of his promises she counted as her own. |

| Memorial Service May 13, 2003 |
| The prayer below I recieved on April 13, 2002. It was chosen to be read at my sister Bobbie's memorial service. I pray it will bless you the reader, as it has blessed my life. |
| Joyous is my spirit, uplifted are my eyes, hopeful is my heart, alive am I in the anticipation of thy soon arrival my "Lord". Watchful is my eye to witness thy coming, listening is my ear in hopes of hearing thy voice of return. My heart is opened wide to recieve thee my "Father" my spirit is anxious to become one in thee. My eye opened early to thy awakening, my ear attention given to the sound of thy presence. The softest of voices speaking unto my soul and spirit am I aware, revealing unto me my inheritance in thee my "Father". Revealed is the birth of thy child into thy family, and the "Kingdom of God". |

| Truly am I blessed beyond all hoped for and dreamed. My heart and spirit had been prepared to be one in agreement and acceptance of thy holy seed of word fallen upon the land fertile to concieve the rebirth of thy child. Reborn am I, born again into the holiness and righteousness of my "Father God". Many have been the times I have walked and talked with thee my "Lord". Instructed now am I to walk in thee my "Father", to be as an obedient and faithful servant, humbled and meek before thee. Thy life within is all that I am aware, the presence of thy "Holy Spirit" is all consuming, complete am I in thee. Life has been given to the long dead members, each cell in the fabric of my being is alive in thee. Death has been defeated, overcome has been the death of my soul and spirit forevermore I am with thee my "Father". |

| The death of my flesh is a joyous death, to become alive in thee the reward of becoming free from the bondage of sinful knowledge. Ye my "Father" are all that I am my love and service unto thee. Daily do I walk with thee in thy "Holy Spirit" to do as thy will would bid me to do. Follow hard do I after the "Savior Jesus Christ", the way, the truth, the life. The truth of his way is the life forever being with the "Lord Jesus" and thee my "Father". Willingly am I led unto thee, submissively am I granted time in thy presence. Holy is thy land, holy is thy temple, place thy child before thee I pray let thy child's spirit dwell within the holy presence. "Worthy One" ye are to be praised and worshiped. Of thy daughter, thy child obedient and loyal, in spirit and in truth. Greatly loved and adored are ye my "Father". |
