    Mrs. Tatum was such a blessing to us in the years we knew her. Her testimony was an example to all. I know you will miss her greatly, but knowing she is with her Lord and Saviour is comfort for you I know. This I know too, heaven is much more real and sweeter to us left here when someone close to us goes before us. Please know your in our hearts and prayers! Harold and Ann Boullion
