I was very saddened to hear about Miss Mildred's passing. When she first came to FBCD, I was her prayer partner a while. She used to tease me all the time about being her prayer partner for life. She was a sweet person. I'm so glad that she won't have to suffer anymore. I thank God that when we're absent from our earthly bodies, we're in God's presence. I pray God's peace to Miss Mildred's family. I hope you find strength in the Lord, & in each other. With Love & Best Regards --
