Order Of Service
Rev. Arthur P. Wells, Jr.
Worship Leader

God saw the road was getting rough
The hill was hard to climb
Then gently closed His loving eyes
And whispered “Peace be thine.”

The weary hours the days of pain,
The sleepless nights have passed,
The ever patient, worn our frame
Has found sweet rest at last.

Acknowledgment

Perhaps you sang a lovely song, or sat quietly in a chair
Perhaps, you sent a funeral spray. If so, we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say.
Perhaps you weren’t there at all, just thought of us that day.
What ever you did to console our hearts,
We thank you so much what ever the part.
May God forever bless and keep each one of you in His tender, loving care.

Special Tribute

I will never forget my Grandmom Virginia, her loving smile, and her beautiful laugh. I remember I would always get excited when my parents would say we were going to Grandmom's house.  Because I came from a military family, I never got to spend much time with Grandmom Virginia, but I will cherish the time I did spend with her.

Her COOKING! I will never forget her cooking. Grandmom would get up in the middle of the night and cook for the family if we were hungry. When I went to visit her for a little while before going into the Marine Corp, I thought I was going to wake up to grits, eggs and bacon, but little did I know. She said "Boy do you know how to cook?", and I said "Yes Grandmom". Then she said "Well boy get in there and cook your own breakfast". What I learned from her that day was not to sit back and wait for someone else to do things for me that I can do for myself. She taught me lots of other things, too numerous to mention now, but I will make sure I pass them down to her great grand-daughter Raechalle.

Grandmom you will always be loved and in our hearts forever. We will miss you.

Much Love from the Rocky Mountains of Denver, Colorado,

Lenny, Cassandra, NaTashia & Raechalle

Resolution from Denver

Letter of Resolution
July 21, 2004

We the Pastor, Elders, Deacons, and Members of the Lowry Community Christian Church resolve the following to the family of Virginia Sapp.

We salute Virginia Sapp and bid her a fond farewell. We resolve and recognize that nothing could be said to prepare you for such a loss. As you grieve and seek answers for this tragic loss, seek solace knowing that only the earthen vessel is gone. Sister Virginia is in the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Be it resolved that a loving one from us has gone. Be it resolved that we bow in humble submission to the will of God, who doeth all things well. Our prayers are with you and may the Lord bring peace and solace to your hearts.

We resolve to our dear Sister Shirley Holley, Brother Leonard Holley and their family that Sister Virginia has only left you for a while and we believe with great assurance that you will see her again.

We resolve that God in his infinite wisdom doesn’t make any mistakes. He needed a beautiful rose in His garden and He called Sister Virginia home. There is no more pain, only happiness, and eternal rest. May you find comfort in God’s words, “I will never leave you nor forsake you and Look to the hills from whence cometh your help, your help cometh from the Lord.”

Whereas we, the Lowry Community Christian Church resolve that Lord Jesus has returned and received Sister Virginia unto Him and through grace, He has given His servant rest in that place where all saints dwell. Receive the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to be your strength.

Humbly submitted,

Lowry Community Christian Church

Reverend Larry Z. Brown, Pastor
