The Lord saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be, So He put his arms around you And whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer And saw you fade away, Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, A beautiful smile at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. It’s lonesome here without you We miss you so each day, Our lives aren’t the same Since you went away. When days are sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, We seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on.” Each time we see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry, I’m in God’s keeping, We’ll meet again someday.” Rhonda Braswell
The Mitchell Family Acknowledgment We, the family of the late Freddie Lee Mitchell, would like to thank each of you for all acts of kindness shown during our time of bereavement. We appreciate all your prayers and love. May God continue to bless each of you.

Deacon Freddie Lee Mitchell I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. II Timothy 4: 7-8 (KJV)
