I am sad to hear about the passing of Deacon Roosevelt. I am happy that I was able to visit with him and Mrs Baker the last time I was home. Deacon Baker has fought a good fight and he has finished his course. He has gone home to get this crown. Mrs. Baker continue to look to the hills from which cometh your help, knowing that all your help comes from the Lord.
I Love You and will continue to keep you in prayer.
