Jilline Bond, the Pastor's wife from Revival Tabernacle of New Columbia, sang a beautiful song. "Don't Cry" by Cece Winans. Oh the song was perfect for this occasion. I cried.
Here we are again
That old familiar place
where the winds will blow
No one ever knows the time nor place
(chorus)
Don't Cry For me
Don't shed a tear
The time I shared with you will always be
And when I'm gone, please carry on
Don't Cry for me
No one is the blame,
my death was meant to be
Don't carry guilt nor shame
The reason why I came soon you'll see
(chorus)
Don't cry when life is not the joy it should be
With life comes pain
Soon time will end this course appointed
and you will be rewarded
and all the world will see
Don't Cry For Me
Don't shed a tear
The time I shared with you will always be
And when I'm gone
Life still carries on
Don't cry for me
We'll always be
don't cry for me
Jilline's son Jamison spoke for the student council for the 7th grade of the Lewisburg Middle School. Oh he was wonderful. Told stories about her in class. How she always had a smile. She will be really missed.

Allie's Funeral Service was Today
I will start out by saying the service was beautiful. It was the most amazing compilation of Bible verses, songs and stories. I will start out with one of the verses Pastor Larry Siikanen of the Trinity United Methodist Church spoke of today.
1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
1:9 I John, your brother and partner with you in oppression, kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God's Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet
1:11 saying, "What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
1:12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
1:13 And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
1:14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
1:15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
1:16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,
1:18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
