The down pour of rain has been extremely heavy and rain is predicted for 8 days straight. My Mom would always say when it rains like this the Angels are grieving for us when someone that is Gods child went to heaven. Andrea was a faithful woman and is resting in the Lord forever. My condolences to her Husband Carrol and her family.
