Willie, So sorry to learn about the passing of your mother. Our mothers are so very important to us as I well know. So glad I got to visit with you both at church. I didn't realize our Searcy County Connections. I pray the Lord will be very near to you and your family.

Thinking of you and praying that God's peace and comfort will be with you during this time of sorrow. Even though, you know that she is at home with God, I know that it leaves you with a broken heart. May all the memories, that you shared with your Mother, sustain you in the lonely days, ahead.
