Dearest Willadean and Laura, and the rest of the family,
Was so sad to hear of the passing of Mr. G.W. but also rejoicing to know that he is in Heaven now and has no more pain and suffering or no more missing his loving wife of so many years. There was a great reunion of Northside Baptist and Barton Baptist and all the other Christians as Mr. G. W. took his rightful place in Glory. My heart goes out to each of you as you say your farewells for now and my prayer is that the Lord wraps His loving arms around each of you in the coming days, hours, weeks and months and years and gives you the peace and comfort and strength that you need to sustain you. God Bless and sending love to all of you...Barbara
