David & Toni, Larry & Sherry, We pray for you and your families in this time of bereavement. This is truly a celebration of a true Christian life! I first met your mother and father when I was about 8 or 9 years old at Bull Street Baptist Church. Mr McCray was my Sunday School teacher and leader. Your mother played a big part in my early days there and at Morningside and as a great, loving neighbor in Avondale. She was truly a great lady! Love, Clyde & Avis
