Such a sweet lady, i used to work in the nursery with her at Pickett's Mill. She couldn't pick up the babies, but we would put them in her arms while she was in the rocking chair and she would sing and tell the babies about Jesus. She will be missed. Heaven got a good one!

God bless the family and friends of this lady. She sounds like someone I would have enjoyed getting to know.

I had the pleasure of knowing her years ago when we went to Poplar Springs... she had such a gift with flowers! She was a wonderful woman... a real Proverbs 31 lady!
