EJ my friend. So sorry for the loss of such a great woman. It’s our loss, but heavens gain. Precious memories of Hughes Creek with her. It’s wonderful to know that we have a promise through Christ Jesus of a reunion that will occur one day. I love yo my dear friend and may God continue to bless and comfort you.
