Welcome/Prayer (Person)

Good morning and on behalf of the family.... thank you for being here as we Celebrate the life of our dear friend... Jo Frances Tull

Today...  Jo is FULLY healed and no longer suffering... in the presence of Jesus.  

  Well... my name is Shawn...  and my wife and I are the Lead Pastors here at The Grace Place where Jo Attended for over 14 years.

o  On behalf of our Church family... we want you to know... Jo was very loved by our Church... he was one of the best we got.

I want to say a big thank you to our Calebs Director - Bonnie- for being such a caring leader as she and her team Elma and Melody faithfully being CARING people by providing Christlike care to both Jo and Ed. over the years.

They visited them frequently, put on birthday parties for them.

Here is what the Obituary reads….

Eulogy (P.Shawn)

But before I share these reflections with you today, it’s important to remember that no one lives a perfect life.... The truth is, we all have moments in our story... we would proudly share and others... we might prefer to leave out. Preston has his, and we have ours.

We aren’t sharing these memories to present him as a perfect saint, but rather to honor the work of God in his life. 

The reality is..

it’s not how a person starts their life out... it’s how the finish...

I reached out to the family and asked her to share some stories with me about NAME and here is what they said…

Graveside (P. Shawn)

Well... the burial of a body is part of our closure process – as we grieve the loss of a loved one.

We need to grieve loss... it’s how the heart process

There is no time-stamp that we can put on grief. It will come and go... from one season to the next.

You know…

Being here today- helps our soul process that Jo’s life here.. is done. 

They physcal body is just a temporary vessel…. for her eternal soul that lives forever

One of Jo’s favorite scriptures was Ps. 23

I think we can find comfort from this passage in the timeless words of Psalm 23 as it says…

‘The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.’

As much as we are all going to miss Jo… I think we can also say… we don’t want her back on this earth suffering in her aging body…

These words remind us that even in the valley of the shadow of death, we are not alone.

The Good Shepherd walks with us, guiding, comforting, and sustaining us.

Jo has now entered into the eternal care of this Shepherd, who promises to lead us to still waters and green pastures. May we take comfort in knowing that God’s presence is with us now, just as it was with Jo throughout their life.”
