To my cousins, I know what you are going through. It has'nt
been that long since mom went to sleep to be with the Lord.
and i know aunt Elgean is rejoicing with mom, Mable & Jack.
Just remember Jesus has everything in his hands. And I know
he is with you all. Remember the poem Foot Prints, When you see only one set of foot prints. You will know who they belong to.Our prayers are with you.
In Him-Love Pastor Ken, Phyllis & Jamaa Johnson
