I would always say How are you doing? Denise Mom and you would laugh. I always enjoyed your company. I love history and you gave me some stories of the past. Happy Black History Month. Look for my Mama she is the one still singing "I'm going up yonder.. To be with my Lord." She left me about seven months ago. I give your daughter Denise this verse. James 4:10 (KJV) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
