Cousin Bettye and all!
It is with a very sad heart that I write this note. I loved Auntie very much and will miss her very much! My prayers and thoughts are with us during this time of grief. I am remembering what the Bible say, "To be absent from the body is to be present before the Lord." We will meet again when we crown Him King of Kings.
God Bless!
