Ag. Great Lady, one of God's Angels. She had a God given talent with reaching out to people with messages everyday In His Service. I enjoyed reading her messages everyday. The Wash Woman, anyone who knew her, knows what I mean. She was a sweet, loving, caring lady. Sending loving prayers to the family on this Thanksgiving Day. May you find comfort knowing that she is in Heaven enjoying all the creations God has made, not only for her but all who have Faith knowing that God is a living God and one day we will join her and see her loving face and all our love ones who have gone on. I'm waiting for that day.

What a talented woman, who shared not only her talent, but her love of Jesus with everyone she knew. I so looked forward to the Birthday card she sent me every year with her words of encouragement and the beautiful poems she would write. I remember and loved to hear her sing "the washboard woman" when I was a little girl. Even though she wasn't able to get out, she continued to reach out to others with love and encouragement. Praying for comfort for her family.
