Jerry, just wanted to let you know your family is in our prayers.
I met her at church. When I was there, we talked until we started singing and preaching. She was a sweet lady that is was a pleasure to have known her. I'll miss seeing her at church when I get to go, however I know she will always be there in spirit. She will be with us all in our hearts.
