Family and Friends

I was saddened to hear of the homegoing of Sis Corella. She was a wonderful, warm hearted, caring woman of God. She could light up the room with her smile. One thing I believe is that she is face to face with our Lord. God Bless you as you find comfort in the loving memories of Corella.

To GOD be the glory for all that HE has done. To the family of my friend Corella, she will be missed and she was loved dearly.

"This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it". This was one of Corella's favorite bible verses. May you find strength in knowing that the Lord God healeth thee. Rest in knowing that Jesus is Lord.
