Faye and Amber, I'm so sorry for your family's loss of sweet Ms. Mary. She was so very kind to me when I moved here. She loved Jesus and there's no doubt where she is today. It's sad to lose our loved ones on this earth, but oh, the joy of their homegoing!
Faye,
I was so sorry to read about your Mom.
I remember her so well from coming into the grocery store many years ago.
May she rest in peace.
Prayers for you all
Love,
Melissa
