    As a part of the Mc Neil School and the Macedonia Baptist Church Community, I have always had the highest respect for the Artis and Doris Torrence family. We cherish our precious memories of Garry Wayne Torrence which will bring us both peace and joy. Garry’s advice to us all would be to keep Jesus the center of our lives in everything that we say and do. I’m in submissive prayer for family and friends.

    You are born into this world and if you are fortunate you live a bit before you are no longer here. Many say that the end comes too soon when in reality it never comes before the end of a contract!
    To Garry, I say until we meet again; Bon Voyage, I love and will miss you and to everyone else I bid you PEACE!

  • Mary Joseph Posted October 23, 2020 11:00 PM

    My prayers for my Torrence Family. We love you all.

    Praying for God’s embrace, and peace for the family! To be absence from the body, is to be presence with the Lord.
