Sister Lisa we continue to pray your strength and peace during this time of grief. God is too wise to make a mistake so we must trust Him always. Brother Atrel sings in the heavenly choir now, standing upright, yet kneeling before our King. He is restored and in the days ahead, so shall you as well. We love you and are here for you.
Pastor Karen Sims and the Mt. Zion family
I’m praying for you, I’m going to miss Atrel. LOVE YOU
May God bring peace and comfort during this challenging time. Atrel was kind and consistently willing to step in and lend a helping hand. His actions and hospitality made us feel at home.Not only was he welcoming he loved to have fun and would do the “kid things” and always had some good snacks on deck. He could also hit a mean Pee Wee Herman! He fought a good fight now he can finally get the rest he deserves. Cherish the positive memories and express gratitude to God for the countless blessings in your past,present,and future. As Ecclesiates 3:4 reminds us,there is a time to weep,and a time to laugh,a time to mourn, and a time to dance. The Head family is sending heartfelt condolences and keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
