What is your response?Can’t believe the news I’ve heard, will be saying prayers for you and the strength and comfort your family will be needing. I don’t think I’ve got a memory of seeing you around town without a smile on your face or having a laugh, your energy was infectious to those you showed love to mate. God give you a place in paradise.
