May the love and kindness of GOD heal the hurt and sadness you are feeling at the loss of Sister WORD. I pray that GOD anoints the WORD family with peace, lovem and understanding and a healing in knowing that HEAVEN knows no sorrow on this earth that can not be healed.

Sister WORD is now within the arms of GOD and everything from now on will be anointed in the name of Jesus Christ.

Sister Word always displayed a kind-hearted-loving spirit of GOD and always a Holy Scripture from the Holy Bible. She will be missed but always loved and remembered for all that she has done in the name of GOD.
