I am so sorry to about Ms. Cohen She was such a wonderful woman. She and I spoke several times of her growing up in the south but one particular time she was out with an axe on the porch of her apartment in DewittsburghI dont even remamber what she was chopping but I said one of us youngsters ought to be swinging that axe for you and she looked up wioed her brow and said Well if you can find a youngster that knows what work is send them my way and I bet they rethink their idea of work when they hang out with me thats just the way I was brought up in the south. I said I bet your right and continued on my way . I pray that the family knows what kind of Jewel they had in the life of Ms. Cohen as their mother and grandmother and the Jewels of life that she shared with them when she was here with them now she has moved on but she'll still be around to watch ovver them and each time they do something and they get that feeling that Momma would have said this when she was here they can now that is her still nudging them in the right direction.
God Bless you and Grant you peace in your time of sorrow. Keep her light shining in your hearts through all that she has taught you and I know you will grow in the Grace and Mercy of the Lord our God
In Sympathy ,
Rev. Donald E. Paul Jr.
