Hey Sis! Have I told you lately that you are awesome?!?! I am so very proud of you and your many outstanding accomplishments. Congrats on your latest achievement-receiving your Masters in Theological Studies. Much love and success-God Bless!
What can I say….after all these years you are still BEAUTIFUL! You’re smile can fill a room. Thank you for all the wonderful things you taught me while at UD. I still remember how you would stop rehearsal at the drop off a hat if our praise was ragged and you would lead us in prayer immediately.
. I sure do miss hearing you sing. I search the website from time to time just to hear your voice. Tell your hubby and children I said hello. i can’t believe they are adults either.
Your words are like nectar. Thank you for taking the time to write them and to visit the site. I appreciate it so much. You have just blessed my soul. Write me and tell me all that you’ve been doing the past few years! I’m sure it’s been a lot. Check out grammyspeaks.wordpress.com and see the newest love of my life, Hezekiah, Jamie’s son.
