For God knows his great plan for each and every one of his children. Trust in the Lord, and keep pushing to him closer and closer. Our time here is not long, use your testimonies from your life for others, and the great of God/Good! I pray (I can’t say just for family, because all the kids she kept were or became children). She kept me from the age of 5! I’ll be 38 on 8/25! You all grew as my family, all of you! So, I remember her life very well! I bless each and everyone that was touched by her! God bless you All
