Livingston, TX Tuesday, May 17, 2022 I LOVE the picture that was posted. I can hear her laugh. She was an amazing person. Her love for her family and our dear God Jehovah was truly a part of her personality. I am so happy she invited me into her life as a very dear friend. My deepest sympathies go out to you, Thomas, and ALL your dear family.She will be deeply missed by so many, but she will ever prove to be an example of faith to imitate! I doubt she rarely missed an opportunity to bring praise to Jehovah. Such a wonderful example!!! Seeing her again on a cleansed earth, will be wonderful. She will get busy, once again, making sure everyone is taken care of and has what they truly need. Until that time I’ll hold memories of her close, as I know you all will even more so. My heartfelt love goes out to all in your dear family.
