I am so sorry for your loss. I was a Covenant Home neighbor. After getting to know her I found out that her niece did my hair when I lived in Spring Hope. We had many good talks about her folks and other people in that area. I will really miss her. Prayers for the family. Just believe in Jesus and continue to walk with Him.
Buddy & Family – you are in my thoughts and prayers. Kristin King
