II Timothy 4: 6-8 KJV  "For I am now ready to be offered up, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all of them also that love His appearing."

Left to cherish his loving memory are one brother, Elmer Thompson; two sisters, Lillian Little and Mattie Mae Little; one son, Christopher Harper; a loving niece, Eva Cherry (Minister Robert D.
