Family: While we were never raised as such, our paths crossed in so many ways. It was only in the dawn of our golden years that the ties of family drew us closer, we would meet at funerals. Well, the Lord keep you as you now turn to Him for all your needs wants and desires. It is He that we find and hold onto in our growing years. Let heaven be your life's goal and you will surely make it in. Don't lose your glory.
