Am so glad to know my dear Aunt and sister in Christ has begun her ETERNAL LIFE. I shall see her again and hope to meet the rest of her family there too. Oxox with much Love.
It was a joy to know Ms Sally for the short time I sat for her. She was blessed with a caring family. Take comfort that she is now resting in the care of the Lord and be with her mama. Blessings to all the family
