RC, as I affectionately referred to Romaine, & I used to privately chat a bit on FB Messenger. We never actually met, albeit we both had a vested interest in VSP & we both suffered from arthritis. Altho, I won´t physically be able to attend her services, I will be thinking of her, Gavin, Richard & Sue. My heart aches for you all & I pray for your comfort. I rejoice knowing that RC is now with her beloved sister, Jessica. Oh, how she loved her sister.
