Services were held today at First Baptist Church in McComb, with Dr. Mack Amis and

the Rev. Wayne Hall officiating. Burial was in Hollywood Cemetery, under the direction

of Hartman-Sharkey Funeral Home of McComb.

Miss Haskins was born Oct. 16, 1988, in McComb, to Carldon Odell “Don” Haskins Jr. and

Barri Butler Haskins.

A 2007 honor graduate of Parklane Academy, Susan was homecoming queen and a cheerleader.

She was a member of the McComb Garden Club Azalea Court and president of the McComb

Junior Auxiliary Crown Club.

She was a junior hospitality management major at the University of Mississippi. She was an

active member of Kappa Delta Sorority and a member of the rush team. She was a chancellor’s

honor roll student and volunteered for Leap Frog. She was a member of Ole Miss Ambassadors

of Southern Hospitality and recently was inducted into Sigma Alpha Lambda, a national

Susan’s lifelong friend Lee Anna Woodcock said, “Susan had the unique ability to always make

everyone feel special and needed. Her kindness and warmth filled a room and impacted our

hearts for good.”

Susan’s most treasured advice came from her grandmother, Mama Sue: “Try to do something

good for someone every day. Stay close to God and he will stay close to you.” Susan lived a life

that exemplified these words.

She was an active member of First Baptist Church in McComb.

Miss Haskins was preceded in death by her brother, Carldon Odell “Carr” Haskins III; and her

grandfathers, Calvin Butler and Carldon O. Haskins Sr.

Survivors include her parents; her brother, Cal Haskins of Hammond, La.; and her

the McComb Junior Auxiliary’s Camp Sunshine.

TODAY’S PRAYER
IMB
AUGUST 17, 2009

“God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne.” (Psalm 47:8)

WORLD LEADERS. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please pray today for Prime Minister Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao of Timor-Leste (between Indonesia and Australia).

JAPAN. A volunteer team came from Tennessee in June and prayerwalked through the city of Tako, about an hour east of Tokyo. This city of 17,000 people has no church, but the city is dotted with 60 temples and shrines. Most of the population is elderly. The young people leave and usually do not return. As the team prayed and passed out Gospel portions or tracts and witnessed of Christ’s presence in their lives, they met some who refused to accept the Word, and others who said they would read the literature they received. The soil is so hard! Pray for God to use the testimonies that were shared, the prayers that were prayed and the Word of God that people are seeing for the first time to lead them from darkness into light, from fear to faith in Christ. Please add your prayers to those of the volunteers and pray fervently for the people’s salvation and for churches to be birthed in this city. http://www.jgpnetwork.org/

SOFIA, BULGARIA (SOH-fee-uh). There is a possibility that a semester worker will be coming this fall to do research and outreach into the Asian community here in Sofia. Please pray for the Father’s will to be accomplished in this. Pray for all the logistics to work out so that this worker can come. Also intercede for the many Asians who live in Sofia. When people are far away from their homes and families, they normally seek ways to fill the loneliness. Pray that they will discover that Christ is the true cure for homesickness and is able to fill the empty spaces in their hearts and lives. pray4bg@yahoo.com; http://www.teambulgaria.org/
