She was 80 years young when this was taken. I was helping her pick Mangos when I went to smoke a cigarette, I left her standing on the ground & when I turned around, she had climbed up the ladder! I call this picture "Our Lady" because she looks like a queen on the throne. Psalm 91. Sister Loria. Blessings & Kee the Faith.

To the family, Love y'all.
