I go to prepare a place for you, I will come againthat where I am, there ye may
be also. John 14:3
To the family of Helen Neighbors, we, the pastor, associate ministers, and the entire church family extend to you our deepest sympathy in the passing of your loved one. Life is but a stopping place, a pause in whats to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some the journeys quicker, for some, the journeys slow. And when the journey finally ends, well claim a great reward & find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord. Trusting that God will be especially close to you in these hours of need.
Humbly submitted,
Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church Family
