I sent Mama Vaughan an email of encouragement after reading the letter she posted about SRV. Much to my shock the next morning she answered my email expressing that I had encouraged her and she needed it. I will forever cherish that email and forever remember her with much fond regard. I will see at the feet of Jesus one fine day.
