Dear Wayne,
Sending prayers for you and your brothers in the loss of your dear sweet Mother. I recall many wonderful memories spent at Southside Baptist with your Mom and Dad. Your Mother loved the Lord, she was devoted to your father, and so very, very, proud of her boys. Her work here on earth is done may she go rest high on that mountain with your Dad. Thinking of you today, Nancie Willis Albin
