“To everything there is a season, and a time to serve every purpose under the heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted....”                                     

                                         Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2

In His infinite wisdom and gentle grace, Almighty God reached down from Heaven and whispered ever so quietly to one of his children these words: “Come with me my daughter for it’s time to go home” and so it was that Saturday, December 28. 2024 God closed the eyes of our beloved Nettie.
