Hello Dorris, Johnnie and the rest of the family! Just recently my thought were of Arletta and our days of growing up together. I remember Allen taking us to church. It is so comforting to know Arletta made her calling and election sure. It won't be long, much sooner than most imagine that we can reunite with sleeping love ones! Maranatha!

Dearest Dorris and Family,

Please know that my prayers are lifted to heaven for your peace and comfort. Just a few weeks ago, I thought to call Arletta, as we were due for a
'chat'. We would laugh as we reminisced about growing up on 17th Street (in Phila.)and we'd catch up on the present. My comfort will be in those memories and the determination by each of us to hear "well done, good and faithful servant..."

Matthew 5:4 reads, "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." As you open your heart to GOD for solace and peace, may you be 'blessed' by HIM as no human can.

Warmest regards,
Juanita 'Nita' Alexander
