I was so sorry to hear about your demise
cousin Ricky- Uncle Kermit& Aunt Annie were wonderful people and I have fond memories of them .Doris, Wally, Kermit and Gwenie. Doris babysat us before she went to California. sadly, our paths never crossed-- I always wondered about you and heard about you from my father. Dad said you went to California to go to school- we were glad to hear you reached your dream -not one but 2 degrees-bachelor and master . Ironically, my sisters have the same 2 degrees in the same field of social work! Thank God for the good you were able to accomplish through your profession.
We went down into prayer when we heard of your recent accident. No more suffering from that and I pray that you sleep in the arms of the saviorJesus the Christ!
