Good Morning - Praying for you and your family and friends for these coming days ahead. I had the Privileged of Singing and playing the Guitar for her last Sunday, Lots of Hymns about Heaven - She sang with all of us and prayed the Lords Prayer, before I left! She is a Saint that loved Jesus - Who has her name written in The Lambs Book of Life.

Mom and I will miss Willie greatly. Mom explained while growing up her and Willie were as close as sisters. And I know how much Willie meant to her. Nancy(Bartell)Bryan, Debbie Bryan
