Mrs.Early was one of the best teachers that Ahoskie High had. She loved her students and cared for them deeply. She always will have a place in my heart. My prayers are with the Early family.

We want to express our deepest condolences to the Earley family for the loss of your love one. During this time of distress words are most difficult to express for what your family is experiencing. Your strong Christian faith in the resurrection hope for Jacqueline is comforting. Acts 24:15 states ‚??I have hope toward God . . . that here is going to be a resurrection of both the

righteous and the unrighteous.‚ Thinking about the Bible-based hope of a resurrection can be the greatest comfort while grieving the loss of a loved one. Rely on Jehovah the God of all comfort,the Bible says: ‚Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you.‚(Psalm 55:22)
