My sister in Christ Cheryl. I will miss your smile, and aura. You were a true vineyard worker and great example of selflessness. I enjoyed hearing your perspective's in Bible study and in our conversations. You blessed us, ZBC, with your gift of photography and was always so discreet in capturing the spirit of our services. GOD knew you needed to rest.
