To my Dear Family: I can hardly believe that it has been a year since our loss. I know that your comfort comes from above. My Uncle Marion was such a dear soul, a gentleman in every sense of the word, as were all those handsome Ledbetter boys. What greater blessing can we have than
being a part of such a wonderful family. I know that my Daddy always hated the distance from everyone, myself included, just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always. Heaven is a greater place knowing our loved ones are waiting for us. All my love to you.

It has been our privilege to know Marion Ledbetter and to have him as our dear pastor and friend. Such a kind and humble man- he truly walked with God. We were blessed and inspired by his preaching of God's Word. His wonderful sense of humor brightened our lives and warmed our hearts. We miss him but know we will be reunited soon in our heavenly home. Our love and prayers go out to Wilma, Dennis and Bonnie and all their families.
