Thank You God,
For pretending not to notice
that one of your angels was
missing for 70 years guiding
her to us, you must have
known how much we would
need her so you turned your
head for a minute and let her
slip away to us You gave her
an endless supply of love,
which she gave away freely,
and never seem to run low
We don't know what special
name you have for her. but
we called her Mama or Maw
Thank your other angels for
filling in for her while she
was with us We know it
wasn't easy for them,
because her shoes are so
hard to fill Thank you again
God. for lending her to us 70
years One other thing. God.
would you wish her a "Happy
Birthday" for us. and tell her
we still love and miss her ?

A Wachovia BankLine account lets you enjoy preferred
interest rates based on Wachovia's Prime Rate. So BankLine
can be a less expensive way to borrow. And your rate is
determined by your credit line, not by the amount you
borrow. Here's how it works.
YOUR CREDIT LINE: YOUR INTEREST RATE:

$ 5,000 to $9,999
$ 2.500 to $4,999

Prime + 1 '&%

Your rate may vary monthly with economic conditions.
If the Prime Rate goes down, so does your interest rate.
But no matter how high the Prime Rate should go, under
present North Carolina law the maximum Annual Percentage
Rate (APR) you will be charged is 18%. The minimum
rate is 8% APR.
A Wachovia Personal Banker can help you decide if
BankLine is right for you. Call or stop by any Wachovia
