The Pastor, Officers, and entire membership of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, Louisville, Mississippi offers you our heartfelt sympathy. Since it has pleased Almighty God to take our beloved sister
ThELMA E. CLAVON
to her reward where she will join that great cloud of witnesses in the heavens.
WHEREAS, our sister accepted a hope in Christ at an early age and demonstrated throughout her life a sincere and obedient walk with God.

WHEREAS, the passing of our beloved sister has left us with a broken heart, we acknowledge and accept the will of God. We know our hearts bleed with sorrow, but are comforted by knowing God will not put more on us than we can bear.
WHEREAS, we believe the words of Jesus in John 14 that encourages us to “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we embrace the family because all of us have a common bond that will connect us for the rest of our lives. We cannot replace Sister Thelma Clavon but will attempt to demonstrate her love for you.

A copy of this resolution is given to the family.

Rev. James L. Headd, Pastor

Thelma is at peace with God now, and rejoicing in her happy heavenly home.
Your hearts are heavy today but know that God is perfect and good; He makes no mistakes. Put your hand in the Master’s hand; and He will make everything all right. Know that God loves you.
Prayer is the thread that binds us together; and with prayer we will understand it better bye and bye. We love you, care for you and pray that God will continue to bless you.
Our deepest expression of sympathy is extended to the family; whom we commit unto the God of all comfort, who will sustain them, in their hour of loss.
“Then shall the dust return to the earth
As it was; and the spirit shall return unto
God who gave it.”
Eccles.3:21

To My Dear Friend Carla & Family,....

I was extremely saddened to learn of the shocking and untimely death of your Mom yesterday!

Forgive Cheri (she is having her own memory issues right now), as she only remembered to tell me in a conversation that we had yesterday morning, and I have been in a solemn mood ever since.

Your Mom IS (and will always be) truly one of the nicest people whom I have ever met, and I will remember her engaging smile and kind nature forever!

I truly hope that you and your family will be comforted with the wonderful and indelible memories that you have shared over the years. And, I know that You, specifically, had a special relationship and friendship with your Mom, and I can only imagine the sorrow that you are going through. I wish that I was there right now to give you a hug, but I hope that all the loved ones in your life right now will provide the comfort and support that you will need to get you through this difficult period.

I will miss her, and I wanted you to know that You are and will ALWAYS be in my thoughts, and a special Love for you and your family will always be in my heart forever.

Sorrowful, and with All My Love,

Gary

May Jesus our almighty Jehovah God in the flesh hold you all in the palm of His hand as you remember and celebrate Thelma's life legacy.
