May your troubles of pain and suffering
find rewards to a higher place in the promise land. God rewards the humble that find ways of peace to tolerate despair from the wicked and simply learn to utilize the ways of Christ within their hearts and pray for those that try to condemn one-another. Rest on faithful one and anticipate your crown of glory as the beautiful person you were to us all. Your niece,Stefani Lynch (daughter of Loretta M.Campbell)
