Angela, I wanted to come to the service this morning but wasn't able to come. My deepest condolences to you and your family! Your Mom was a prayer warrior and I remember when she and your Father first arrived in Springfield and came to Southgate Church. Praise to God for her dedication to her Lord and to her family! Love and prayers to you and yours!
