My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I am orginally from Buchanan County and had the pleasure of hearing this lady sing. May God hold you tight and lift you up when you need it. To the husband, a very new and different road is ahead of you but I have walked it and God has been true to his word and been a mate to me when I needed him. Praying for all of you.
