Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting in the sky! Visitation will be from 6-8 pm Saturday at the Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville.

Marie Fellure Dunaway~~~Godly mother and Christian LADY! I loved her and got to talk to her recently. She endured many heartaches, BUT her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren made her life COMPLETE. I always loved her gentle ways and nice smile. She was, by all accounts,a FINE WOMAN DESERVING of every happiness. She had a spirit of HUMILITY. She was in my prayers due to her many SETBACKS in this life. SHE WAS AN OVERCOMER and I admired her for it. To the kids, I say, GOD SURELY BLESSED YOU WITH SUCH A MOTHER. My CONDOLENCES are with each and every one of you at this time of grief. To the six children, I say...Until you meet her again, LIVE TO HONOR HER MEMORY...for her MEMORY IS BLESSED! YOUR FOREVER FRIEND, Barbara Lynn Spurlock BLS-ings! 3
