Darla Dunn, in memory of my beloved husband, Bill W. Dunn. Bill was united with his Saviour, Jesus Christ, on September 4, 2014. He faithfully served at Lighthouse Fellowship in Millington.
“This is my Bill a few years back…. doing one of his favorite things, deer hunting. I have pics of us together but I love this picture of my Bill! I loved him in camo. My Bill loves Jesus, loved me, loved others, and was not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He always said accepting Jesus was the only HIGH he never came down from.
He read his bible every day in fact, my Bill read through 
the bible probably 15 times the 19 years we were married. He once told the doctor at Cancer Treatment Center of America, ‘Doc, if something happens to me I am going straight up, no worries about me. I will be in heaven!” The doctor teared up and said, “In all my years of doing this Bill, no one has every expressed their eternity quite like that, I love it!”

Kevin Ledford, in memory of my beloved wife, Jean Ledford. 
After a protracted battle with cancer, Nona Jean Ledford died on February 21, 2015, in Arlington, TN, at the age of 53. She leaves behind her husband, Kevin Ledford; her daughter, Lindsey; and her son, Luke. Jean was born on September 4, 1961, in Memphis, TN, to father Kenneth Troutman and mother Madeleine Troutman.
She grew up in a large, loving family with six siblings: Marlene, Danny, Marcia, Kenny, Sherri, and Chris.
Growing up in the Troutman home, her parents made sure to instill in Jean, and all of their children, a strong faith in the lord. Jean married her then coworker, Kevin Ledford, on April 24, 1993. Jean was a driven professional with a love for spending time with family and making sure everyone’s needs were catered to before her own. When diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September of 2014, she remained hopeful, drawing her strength daily from her relationship with Jesus Christ.
She remained a brave, iron-willed woman, even throughout her final months. Jean is survived by her husband and children, as well as all of her brothers and sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her mother. The family would like to thank anyone and everyone who sent care packages, flowers, encouraging cards, and smiles Jean’s way during the past five months, and of course the constant prayers.
