The family of Edna Sims Moore wishes to acknowledge with grateful hearts, every deed of kindness shown to us during our time of bereavement.
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid for you to see. I took His hand when I heard Him call I turned my back and left it all I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of the day If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish to you sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much good friends, good times,
and loved one' s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee God wanted me now- He set me free!

Eulogy Pastor Kerry W. Hall III
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed by thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this daily bread.
Andforgive us our trespasses, As weforgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver usfrom evil. For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
