Roger, I want you to know what a blessing your mother was to us at church. She had a way of lifting you up no matter how low you were, she was a living testimony. I was on my way to Morristown today and as I was driving I could hear her singing, as I know she is in Heaven singing and rejoicing today. God Bless You, we are praying for peace and comfort for you in the days ahead. With love, Christy and David Dunn
