Tee Tee, Vanessa & Maurice,
I am very sad. I know that Mrs. Buncum is safe in God's arms. She is now an angel that can watch over all of you better in heaven.I will cherish those times that we spoke in church and she would tell me that I'm her encourager. We shared some of the same concerns but she also knew who her Savior was. Look to God for strength and He will provide.Love you all.
