May the love of jesus and prayers of the saints sustain you Eld. Leslie and Tiffany Richardson as well as Sis Tishondra, along with the grandchildren plus extended family. Sis. Cora Richardson was a very blessed Usher and always kind to me. I remember the times also when I saw her feeding her Mother at the Nursing Home or just being very attentive to her. We will keep you all in our prayers as you go through. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
