Sissy,



What an awesome time your mother is having now in the Presence of the Lord with Brother Hagin, Sister Roberts, Brother Osteen, my father, my grandmother and many others. Of a truth, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Glory to God! We are praying for you and your family, especially your father.
