I say to the family hold on to God's unchanging hands. Remember God makes no mistakes. Barbara and Videau was the first people to welcome my family into the neighborhood when we brought our home. They was the same each and every day after they never changed on us. You will truly be missed. When I get home in the evening I still be waiting for the voice. Old girl you getting on in I know your tired. Take your rest old man you are once again with Barbara.
