I had an opportunity to visit with Mr. Prentice and family Friday night at Banks Funeral Home in Sylvester at Mrs. Prentice's visitation. Bro. John spoke at the funeral on Sat morning and mentioned that they had been married 62 years. Mrs. Prentice was 82 when she passed away on 8/11. In her 82 years of life and their 62 years of marriage, she lived the life God wanted her to. She was the witness that her children, grandchildren, friends, and neighbors needed to see.
I think the thing I most admire is their faithfulness together all these years. Regardless of where they moved to, she was always supportive and caring with whatever happened.
Bro John had Mrs. Marge's Bible and he held it up for us to see. He reminded us about the legacy we leave just in our Bibles. He had a chance to flip through and look at all her notes and marks in her Bible and he picked out a few things from Psalms 25 to read.
As Bro John said, their moving to Sylvester/Worth County was definitely a God thing. It was definitely my honor and privilege to know Mrs. Marge.
You're preaching your funeral now every day that you live. What will you be remembered for? What legacy/monuments are you leaving for people behind you to follow?
