UPDATE

Sister Karen and I visited the family of Sister Mary Moore's family at the Clarksville, TN COGOP on Wed. May 17. There were many family and friends that we renewed acquaintance with. Sister Moore was well loved by many and was a faithful "warrior of the cross of Jesus Christ."

Today, I helped sing in the choir. We sang the song ("I'm Bound For That City") that Brother and Sister Moore sang many times. There were other special songs that paid tribute to Sister Mary's life. The ministers also shared different thoughts of Sister Moore's life. A highlight was when her granddaughter's (Michelle) husband read a paper that Sister Mary wrote about her life and also when her grandson, Billy Moore, spoke about her life. Also, Windell, her son, read a tribute to his mother which was very interesting, pertinent and inspirational. I felt the love and respect this family has for this pioneer who has gone on to be with the Lord and her husband. Brother Bill is no longer saying, "come on Mary." This was a humerous side ("come on Mary") of the ceremony as both Billy and Windell noted that Sister Mary never got in a hurry. She no longer has to be in a hurry, as she can praise the Lord, be with her husband and little son who died and enjoy the Lord throughout eternity. She is waiting for us. . . . .to "come on."
