I’m so sorry that I will not be able to talk with Romeo. I’m confident that when ‘God’s kingdom come and his will is done on earth as in heaven ‘we will be able to talk again. The Bible promises that ‘death, pain, suffering and tears will be done away’Revelation 21:4.
You are in my prayers
I love you,
Your sister and aunt, Florence

Shirley,
May God keep you in His loving arms--He sees, He knows, He Cares! Yeah though we walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, we will not fear because God is with us.
Thinking of you my friend--His eye is on the sparrow and I know He is watching over you.
