    Prayers continually going up for Kim. I met Kim at church and her son Kevin. I later met Keisha here in Monticello. I met her sister Laverne through phone calls. My prayer for this family is that you guys will be strengthened and that y'all will draw love from God and from one another. Jesus is a mighty comforter, can't no one comfort like him. He also is a mighty counselor you talking about a counselor. In times like this we need to be comfort and I know you all do too. Jesus is your shield your strength your rock your Redeemer Jesus also is your hightower your refuge He's your very Chief cornerstone and you can put all your trust in him. Praying for strength throughout this day and even in days ahead. God is not far away in the Milky ways he's as close to you as the skin is on your face. I just like to say this I first met Mrs Delois at a rummy sale, My friend Lynn Harvey and I was out early one Saturday morning. Fell in love with this lady from the very moment I talked with her. There were times we even thought we were related to each other because we resembled each other some.
    Continuing to pray for you and your family. She surely will be missed.

    My prayers and condolences to Kim and the rest of the family in the passing of Ms. Delores.
    Psalm 147:3 in the amplified Bible says: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow]. My prayer is that God will comfort you and your family at this difficult time.
