The visitation is planned for Sunday, February 17, 2008 from 4:00 until 6:00 PM at Bladen Funeral Home. The funeral will be Monday, February 18, 2008 at 11:00 AM at Northside Baptist Church with Rev. Scott Lewis and Rev. Steve Butler officiating. Burial will follow the service in Brisson Cemetery.

The family would like to thank everyone for their kindness, prayers, food, and support during this time of loss to our family. A special thanks also goes out to all of the churches who kept her on their prayer list.
