To Mary Porter & family, just know that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. I know that you loved you husband and you were a devoted wife and friend to him. But God has called him from labor to reward. You will see him again. Just know that you can depend on God to see you through and depend on me to pray for you.
Know that I am just a phone call away.

Love always your friend .. Treina, Kelli and Bobby
