Terry, Billy and Brucie and families,

It has been years since I saw your mom, but I so fondly remember her. She had the sweetest smile and voice and was always so kind to me whenever I would come over to your house on Braddock Street. I loved her and your dad so much! I always felt like a part of your family back then and I am so sorry for your loss. But knowing that her suffering has ended and she is whole, new and healed by Jesus is a great blessing! You all will be in my prayers in the coming days and weeks.

Much love and prayers,

Lori Gooding Roszell
