James and family,
Please realize Madrue's earthly shell no longer suffers from pain and the Lord has given her a day of peace and rest. Be happy and rejoice for her as she is now with the angels. I know she is with uncle Grover and aunt Hester, and will be waiting for the rest of us as we are called to be with them when it is our turn to go. Remember all of the good times and keep them close.
May the Lord guide guard and direct you in all things and keep you safe.
Cousin, Roger Glenn Black
