She was the smile when one needed it, she was a kind word spoken softly, she was sincere and thoughtful and a blessing to those who shared time with her. We will miss her greatly. All the Ladies, Hands of Love, Dry Prong Assembly of God Church.

I am not physically able to attend the services in person, but my spirit will be there with you all. May God give all of you calmness, strength and peace.
