Pre - Arrangements
| Pre - Arrange On - Line It takes less than 10 minutes to Complete our " Basic Planner" |
Why Plan Ahead? Peace of Mind Many who have undergone the emotional strain of arranging a funeral within hours of losing a loved one have made the choice to pre-plan their own funeral. Doing so lifts the burden from their loved ones by relieving decision-making pressure at a time of grief and emotional stress. Funeral arrangements are a deeply personal choice. Pre-planning provides you with the time needed to make practical, detailed decisions that reflect your standards, lifestyle, taste and budget. And we assure you and your family that the choices you make will be carried out as planned. When you finalize your plan, we can advise you of the total cost. You do not have to set aside funds for your plan, but doing so protects you against escalating funeral costs. By locking in today's funeral costs and ensuring that the necessary funds are set aside, you help relieve yourself of unnecessary future worry and your survivors of an unexpected expense.. Pre-Arrangment allows you to consider cost-effective options. There are many flexible payment options to meet your needs. In Georgia, prearranged funeral contracts are not counted as assets for Medicaid spend- down purposes and the death benefit of a preneed life insurance policy grows over time to help offset inflation and that growth may not be taxable to you. |

Subject: In Loving Memory of Sonyona
So many friends are sharing in the sorrow of her family -- those who she loved
so very much. Sonyona's humor, advice, and loving friendship will remain long
after these days of sorrow. May the many happy memories that she built with
each of us who mourn her passing help us in the days ahead to turn tears of
sadness into warm smiles in our hearts. May the love that she had for each of
her three sons, stay with them for a lifetime.
To Justin, Jason, and Jared: my heart is breaking for you. Know that your Mama
loved you and was so very, very proud of the young men that you have, and
continue to, become.
To her beloved Mama and Daddy: you are and will continue to be in my
thoughts and prayers, today and in the days to come.

comments = My heart was so saddened when I read The Times today. Then I
was
gratefully moved by the memories I hold of a beautiful little six year old.
Sonyona was Blessed with parents who were always helpful to me as her
First Grade teacher. No matter my request,Sandra helped me in every facit of
Sonyona's first year. She knew that I loved her ,too and wanted the very
best for her.
Sonyona wanted to be a nurse ,even at six years of age. I know she was
an excellent one.
My heart aches for her family.
I hold in my heart a beautiful little girl with a ready smile, shiny
hair, little freckles and bright and happy eyes. I will miss her.
If there is anything that I can do for you ,please , let me know.
I won't be able to come to her Service,but one of our Dearest
friends of about 55 year will have his Service at the same hour.
I will be thinking of you. May God hold you and yours close to Himself
as you walk this road.
Love,
Billie
