""We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. "(Romans 6:9) - Those of us who accept Christ have this same gift awaiting. Blessed is our Lord Jesus who died for all of us wretched souls. Praise God that Mrs Lashley is a daughter of our Most High God! God says (Rev 21:4) "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Her cancer is gone. Her pain is gone. We can rejoice for Mrs Lashley's suffering is over. Cry not for her but for those of us left to suffer in this wretched world. "

"Thanks Mom, for the memories and always being there for us. I would like to "second" everything that Donald said (those were my exact thoughts as well). We'll miss you but rest assured, you've given us everything we need to carry on. When you get to heaven tell Dad and Grandma Weller I said hi! Thanks again. Sincerely, with love, Doug"

"Mary Ann (and Russell) were my neighbors and friends. We've shared SO many memories over the years. They were such good neighbors and helped me out as I did them. I know how much she loved her Family and the Lord. Hopefully Russell has her dancing in Heaven with our Lord and remember, we will see her one day again as promised. "

"I maintain that my dad was the luckiest man in the world to have had her for a wife for so many, many years. I consider myself to be one of the next luckiest to have had her for a mother. THANK YOU Mother, for the countless, yet priceless memories and unconditional love. I love you dearly and I will never forget you."
