Spring, TX Sunday, January 1, 2023 I have walked through the valley of sorrowat the death of a loved one so dear,
when cold winds of pain swept around me
and grief pierced my soul, bringing tears.
But never alone, did I wander
For Jesus walked close by my side.
With love He will carry you through
He’ll bring you up out of the valley
And He will give you the mountain-top view.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…”. Psalm 23:4a

Spring, TX Sunday, January 1, 2023 Wow a big hole in my heart. He was more than a friend thought of him as a brother. He and Shirley were the first friends we had when we came to TXShirley introduced us to red beans and rice. Can’t eat them without remembering them. We had some great times together I m having a hard time writing this without crying. I’ll miss so much
