Brenda and Karen

Sister Grace was loved by so many I’ve known her since I was at least five years old she always had a smile for me and a hug when I would come to the house before my piano lessons with Karen... everything she had to say was always spiritual and encouraging she always encouraged me to make the truth my own just like Ruby encourage me...It was a pleasure to have known her and to be able to see her again running across the resurrection Bridge...
