Alan and I met Ms. Delores as newlyweds. She was our Sunday School Teacher at Hendersonville Nazarene. I remember her to be spunky with a little spice and a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, all topped off with a Godly glow and a whole lot of sweetness. She was widowed at the time we met her. My favorite memory is of her encouraging us newlyweds to keep spice and spontaneity in our marriage. She told stories of her own marriage and some of her own spontaneous adventures. She taught us that all that marriage work was good, but it would mean nothing if God wasn't at the center. I loved her immediately, and consider her mentor-ship an ongoing success of our own marriage. Many prayers for these next few days, and the new season to come. You were a blessed family.
My wife and I were two of the blessed young couples who had her as a Sunday School teacher in Seymour Indiana. Pastor Green and Mrs. Green other than Jesus are the main reason that to this day we are holding strong to the faith. They will be some of the first ones I will be looking for when I get to heaven! God bless Tim , Sam , Dan , and Steve and the extended family during this difficult time. In love Jerry and Susie Scott and daughters Angie and Kristi.
Delores was our neighbor in Goodlettsville for over 20 years. We were so blessed to have her in our lives. She was such a joy. This is a story I will always remember. One day there was a knock on my front door and there stood Delores looking a bit panicked. I answered and said hello and she immediately said to me “Gail there is a snake in my garage I need some help. ”. Foster was out on the back deck and I immediately screamed for him to come and help Delores because as much as I loved her as far as I was concerned she was on her own if I was supposed to help! I stayed on my porch and kept screaming over to make sure everything was ok. All ended well. She was such a wonderful Christian woman who made such a difference in all the lives she touched. I am better for having known her. And to think our friendship started with our tree falling on her roof!!!!! Just funny how God works!!! Love and prayers to all the Green family.
Our hearts are just broken. Steve, Dan, Tim and Sam, we love you! There was never a doubt that your mom loved us and our family. Such a continual source of strength and kindness. May you find peace in the love of family and friends. We love the Green's.
The O'Bannon Family - Tom, Dave, Cheryl, Jake, Maia and Sam.
