Saddened to learn of Lil Bud's passing. My momma said to me "they will probably bring him home; and I said, ma, he was very active in his church. She then said, " he was born here." So ma got her wish. I pray the Lord comfort and strengthen everyone of you. I've learned that as time goes by, you will be strengthened. Since my dad past, I mourn more but it is not without any hope. I dreamed that I went to heaven and I asked where 'daddy.' Just a little humor. Mazel's daughter, Lizzie
