May God comfort this great lady’s family. I’ll never forget her, ever.
May our Saviour place his hand upon your hearts. Let the knowledge of knowing she is with the Father bring tears of Joy and not sorrow. I know that the memmories we all have of Ola are filled with lots of laughter. Her spirit still lives and waits to see her family again. Remember all those who have gone before. Bro.Ronk, Bro. Palmer and Roberts. Bro and Sis. OBannion. We are praying for you as your head will know one thing and your heart another. We have always considered you family. I am sending a hug and kiss for each of you.
If I could be there I would, as we are still settling here in Louisiana.
