I remember our conversations
and visits at Jr Food Mart and Bp. She and I always had long talks when she came in the stores. She always made my day. We would laugh, have coffee together. She would come in smiling and talking.
May you rest in peace!
One day we shall meet again!
The Lord Prepared A Place!
