I am so sorry for our loss and so happy for heavens great gain. I will miss seeing her when ever I visit at Rising Sun Church of Christ. I have known and loved her for so many years and her dear husband. I remember when he used to play Santa Claus at church when I was a little girl. You all have my deepest sympathy. Love to all.
