What a lovely lady! I remember your parents along with Bobbi Jo’s Jacobs’ parents attending our church and singing on several occasions many years ago. Beautiful voices harmonizing all together once again in Heaven. My prayers for peace, strength, and comfort at this difficult time as well as God’s grace in the coming days and months ahead.
