Both Preston and I are praying for you Kia, Onesha, and Romicka. I will always remember your mother's praying spirit. She gave me the courage to move through a lot of difficult task by just saying "Let God work this." When I moved through the task she would say "Look at God". Jackie is certainly with God!
