Jeffery and William so sorry to read of your mothers and grandmothers death. Was so nice to see that she followed her love of the Bible and in her later years encouraged others through its wise words. The Holy Scriptures promises that very soon John 5:28,29 will be fulfilled. Once again I am sorry for your loss
