It takes a village to raise a child. When I moved to OC, and met two of my best friends—I got to have their mama in my life. Back then, I didn’t understand the “light” that comes from those who love Jesus (I know now). She emitted that light 💡! I’m grateful to have known her!!

I loved doing devotions with her. She and I would comment on each other’s Bible reading progress and the impact particular scriptures had on our lives. She was so sweet and will be missed dearly.
