  10. Kristie, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I know she is with Jesus now and my prayers are that you can find rest and peace in knowing you will see her again one day. May God bless you and your family during this very difficult time. I believe I can answer for all of us at Mt Pisgah Baptist Church in saying that WE ARE HERE FOR YOU if you need us.✝️

  11. There are no words to express how much this breaks my heart!! Mary Lou was my best friend from the 3rd grade on through school. I love each and everyone of her brothers and her sister and her mom!! I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!! I will be praying for her husband, children and grandchildren also, I know the void in their lives is huge, no one can ever replace the sweet person she was
