Margaret,Lula, Jr., Vanessa, and the entire family I love you guys so much. We are neighbors from the "old" neighborhood so you know I was saddened to hear of the death of Ms Jessie Mae, but then on the other hand, and most importantly, I know she is in heaven and among the saints. Certainly, you will miss her but you already know that God has everything under control. Cry when you must, but always know that He is with you, even at your most difficult times. He will see you through, that is a promise. Please email me and send me your telephone number.
