Monticello, AR Tuesday, February 14, 2012 I always like to give a grieving family the following quote that I have found to help me during these times."Just think of stepping on shore and finding it HEAVEN.
Of touching a hand and finding it GOD'S
Of breathing new air and finding it CELESTIAL
And waking up in glory and finding it HOME"
I always have felt a part of your family because of Ollie Faye and having Janice, one of my girl scouts. Bless all of you.
