Glenda and family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Strolling through the pictures and seeing her always surrounded by her family was comforting to know how each of you cared and loved her while she was here with you. To know that she was a Godly woman brings comfort to knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior now. May you always keep your closeness with one another and may you always walk along side of God and keep to His word and hold it dear to your heart. He will see you through your pain and heartbreak and bring renewal to your spirit, so that you may once again soar like the eagles, so that you can continue where Mama Dott left off and others can come to knowing God's wondrous love for them as all of you have .
With much love and continued prayers for the family,
Jeannette L Davis
