Robert and Benny Ray - Praying God´s blessings and strength to you. I thank God for the wonderful memories growing up and seeing the laughter Minnie Lee, my mom (Charlene), and my aunt (Angeline [Angie] Smith) shared one with another. Trips to "Seven Bridges" or Toledo Bend to enjoy a day of fishing was never a disappointing day. It was such a blessing to see how they enjoyed one another. Trust God for what you need to make it day by day and He will sustain you and He will supply all of your needs.
