Bless that wonderful name of Jesus as she would so eloquently sing. We will all miss her here on earth, but I know she is greatly rejoicing walking the streets of gold. She is dancing again. Another angel has gotten her wings. We are praying that God strengthens each of you during this transition. Love you all. Sis. Keyia & family
