Praying for your families, but what a blessing this woman was! She made such a life long impact on my daughter, Betsy! I can only imagine the rejoicing in her being with Jesus. She will be missed at Calvary Baptist Church. We often walked into church together. She was sharp and held others accountable. May your memories of her and God's blessings comfort you!
