And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.
And they loved not their lives unto death.

So sorry to see on the Internet
the lost of your Mother/Grandmother.
We (The Bryan Family) attended the
Faith Tabernace Church in the late
60's on Birchwood Avenue.
Mildred's husband Ralph promoted
perfect attendance for Sunday School
when we attended there. Ralph gave me
a white bible for perfect attendance,
which I still have to this day.
I am the Daughter of John and
Catherine Bryan. We had a large family,
but most of my brothers and sisters were
grown up and out of the house when
we attended there. My brother
Daniel married Marlene Ellis and
they have 2 children and 1
granddaughter and one grandchild on
the way. Ruth now lives in
Elmira Heights now. My brother John
who lives in Erin, now attends the
church. Elizabeth, now lives in NYC.
I (Martha) now lives in the Johnstown,
Pa. area. We do not have any children,
but we (my husband & I) have a
children's church ministry in the
Johnstown, Pa. We average from 35 to 50
and sometimes a little more or
less. We are thankful that God
has given us so many children,
to teach them the the truths of
the Bible. I do know that the Word of
God will not fail. We are so sorry
for your lost again, may God give
you all comfort at this time.
With lots of Love, Martha (Bryan) Hinton

Dearest Great-Grandma you were the
axel who held so many together,
the sun which each person in your
solar system orbited.
Though I did not know you as much
as other realitives I know your
guidance has influenced many
bringing to each a brighter burning
light of hope and beliefs. To my
Grandma Ruth you were a close friend
speaking with each other on the phone
at least a couple times a day if not
every day of the week before your
stroke which robbed you of your speech.
Our hearts have ached wishing to
understand you when we could not, but
now that you are gone we find that
we ourselves are speechless.
We miss you dearly and there is a
hole in our hearts now that you
have departed from this mortal
pinnacle. Could any of us live up
to the legend you left behind, of
being the very center point of the
family. We yearn for you to still be
with us, but we cannot for it is not
fair to you or to ourselves. Though
we grieve we know we must go on with
our lives and see each day as it comes
with a smile on our face and love in
our hearts. It is a sad time for so
many this past year, we've lost so
much and gained little other than
the apprciation of life. The love we
have for you will live on, for when
we have all withered away into
nothingness one thing remains constant,
the love that was born.
In love you will live immortaly,
you have not truely died,
but have become an angel who shall
always be by each of our sides when
in need. Though you have left this
mortal coil, you still live on in
our hearts and the love that you
gave will carry on generation after
generation. At least now you are
with your husband Ralph, Kenneth,
your daughters Naomi and Ester,
my grandma Ruth and her son Bruce
and the mother of Bruce's children.
Someday we will all meet again and
rejoice together in paradise. It
is not the end for you, but the
beginning. You have waited for a
long time and finally your reward
has been given to you, the kingdom
of Heaven. You watch from above us
now and will continue to do so
until our next reunion where we
shall meet in the next life. To
many you were much more than a
family member. You were family,
friend, adviser, teacher and the
glue that held us all together.
Without you it will be a difficult
journey for many, but in time they
will come to see that just because
you are not there physically does
not mean you are truely gone.
Rest in Peace dearest Great-Grandma.
You will eternally be in our hearts
and memories for all of our days.
Forever and ever shall we love you.
Great-Granddaughter,
Brandy.

To the woman who lived a great
life and gave this world some of
the best things it had ever
obtained. Thank you great grandma
for living your life how you did
because without you, there
would not be many of us here-
so I would like to say on behalf
of all of us, thank you. We had
always and will always love you.
Nobody could come close to the
kindness you showed to your family
and friends. You were one of the
greatest people I have ever known.
Love Always,
Bubba
