Christian love and sympathy to the Beverly Lawson Hankins family. With her family by her side, Beverly Jewel Lawson Hankins, 67, passed from this life to the next on January 24. The visitation was held at First Baptist Church in Ripley last Saturday with the service following at 2 p.m. Ladies were encouraged to wear hats and bright colors, a trademark of Beverly’s. A private graveside service was held afterwards.
I’ll take the rain any day rather than the ice. Snow I can handle, but snow and ice was a little too much.
Anna Elizabeth Pullen was surprised Saturday with a baby shower host by some special work friends of hers. She and Sam received very nice gifts for baby Andrew. I know Joanna will be a big help to her mommy when her little brother arrives.
Shelia Jackson said she was so glad that the ice and snow is gone. She was tired of being inside the house. Shelia also said to keep Davin Rowland in your prayers. He has come a long way but has a long way to go . They have him up walking him some to build his strength. Davin is a miracle and is in the hands of the Lord.
“If you don’t believe in God, just look how far he has brought Davin,” Shelia said.
You are so right, Shelia. Sheila sends love and sympathy to the Rhonda Goad family.
Deborah McCool is still not over the flu. She and Tommy went to church but listened to the service sitting in the car. She’s gonna try to work some this week but going back to Mediquick first.
Jake Rose is having eye surgery Thursday in Memphis. Prayers for you, Jake.
Sam and Anna Pullen are waiting on their new arrival, a baby boy, Andrew James Pullen. He is due February 21. Great grandmother, Diane Dukes says she believes he will arrive before then and she cannot wait to see her new great grandson.
Speaking of great grandsons, mine came for a visit Sunday. Bradley Holliday, his mother, Francesca Holliday; my daughter, Donna Garripoli and Summer and Miranda Procella, all came from Grenada. We had a good afternoon watching the Chiefs win another ball game!
Please pray for all the sick and shut-ins. I saw a great caption that said, “Gas is going up, food is going up, rent is going up. But when prayers go up, God’s blessings come down!”
Amen!
Happy birthday to Terri Dukes and Logan Rose, who share a birthday the 29th; and starting our February birthdays are Amanda Hailey, who celebrates the 2nd; Romona (Mona!!!!) Pryor Beardain will light her candles the 4th; Wayne Simmons celebrates the 6th; and Wanda Crawford the 7th. I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating your special day.
Martha Box was out and about some this week and reported eating a wonderful livers for lunch Wednesday at the Ole Corner Store.
She met several friends at Spencer’s Friday and enjoyed it. They laughed so much and so loud that they could have been thrown out! Charles, Glenda Shumpert, Jimmy Jones, Shirley Simmons, Brenda Harlow, Gene Redwine, Larry Franklin, Jane Smith Taylor and Michael and Juliana Martin gathered – what a crowd!
Ginger, Phil and my so Josh Harrison visited Martha and brought her some of Diane’s great chicken and dumplings. Mmmmm good. Martha needs to slow that Mustang down!
Thought for the day: Age is something that doesn’t matter unless you are a cheese.
