Aunt Goldie was a fine and talented woman, but most of all she was a Christian. Now she is in Heaven with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and with all her loved ones that had gone on before her. She must be so happy! She is free from pain and sorrow. She would not want us to sorrow as those who have no hope because we do have the hope and promise that one day we will be together. Junior, Trudy, Wanda and Tim. . .our prayers and thoughts are with you and your families at this time.
