On Jan. 17 we buried our father. The funeral procession started at Harwell-Wheeler Funeral Home in Covington and ended at Stewart Baptist Church cemetery - 25 plus miles away.
On the way, I witnessed a truly awesome sight. Everyone driving in the opposite direction pulled to the side of the road as a sign of respect and sympathy.
I saw the love of our heavenly father in the actions of all those wonderful, caring people in Newton and Jasper counties. I am sending my deepest gratitude to you all. When we do what our Lord inspires us to do, we give others hope by letting God's light shine.
Thanks again and I pray God's blessings upon each and everyone of you.
