Paula and I are so saddened by the loss of one of my dearest cousins. Mayme was a perfect example of a Christian lady in every respect--kind, lovingAnd always finding something good in every person. I nvr heard her say anything bad about any person. Being around her was always wonderful as she always lifted your spirit and made you feel good. God has surely received an angel into heaven. My prayers are with all the family at this time. I pray God will watch over each of you at Rhine of grief.
