"My thoughts are with the Talley family. It is so sad when a loved one dies. Jesus said in John 5:28 "the hour is coming in which all those in the graves will hear my voice and come out."

"Rest In Peace Aunt Pauline! My favorite memories are coming to Caraway for summer vacations and having our families together at Grandma and Grandpa Dukes place. I remember Uncle Herman use to scare me to death as a policemen. Sarah Jane and I use to stay up all night laughing and talking. Give my dad and your sisters/my aunts a big hug in heaven when you see them.XO Jeff
