Lorin, I am so sorry to hear about this. She came to my grandad's funeral in December 2008. My aunt Monita Fortenberry Sterling, who was a classmate of hers, was thrilled to see her too. My prayers are with your family.

I am sure that she is at peace comforted by God's loving embrace. God Bless You All.

Sandra & I have been friends since we were 5 years old. Even though we have lived far away from each other for many years, the friendship remained strong. It is difficult to imagine not being able to call her and share joys and sadnesses with such a caring friend. Lorin and Tressa, thank you so much for taking time to share the things you did with me. I pray that God will be with you, Lezlin, Jud, Janey, and Millard in your grief and great loss.
