You all know how I loved your mom. She was my "Tucson" mom. I didn't want her to leave us. I'm so glad I have such wonderful memories, pictures and videos. I wish I had dozens more. My heart is heavy because I miss her so, but she's just one step ahead of us. That's what Bro.Branham told my grandfather "It is only one step from here to where you will be changed" Our loss is Heaven's gain and what a wonderful renunion day "they are all having" Love and prayers, Jo Ann

I wish there was some way to tell you all how much I loved Sis Cleo! She was so special to me! I wanted to be able to tell you this in person but I am so sorry that I won't be able to be there with you. I look forward to seeing you Easter.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May God Bless each one of you!
