To the family of Ms. Bynum Mullis, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. No doubt the loss of such a dear loved one will be felt by many. The Bible makes the promise at Isaiah 26:19 that the dead will live and will rise up. What a joy that will be. May this and the many other promises in God's word continue to comfort your family.

What a Grand Lady. Aunt Betty was always all smiles with me, even when I was a little girl. Those Sunday afternoons when we were little, I will always cherish. She was beautiful inside and out, plus always so much fun to be with. As close as a sister to my mother, she was always one of the first people we thought of for any special events. I love her and miss her, but know she is with God and her family members who went before her.
