JW,
We were so sorry to hear about Mrs. Shirley. Honestly y’all have been on my mind for some time, and I apologize for not letting you know. She was such a dear, sweet lady that made a marked difference to our younger son, Mark. She was always accepting of him when it seemed everyone else just got aggravated with his childhood foolishness. He believed her (and I did too) when she said she loved him, and it appeared he would try to “be better” when she was around him. I think they had a special understanding. I can’t imagine how you must feel but hopefully, as you go forward, God will bring you peace as you lean on His promises and remember she’s been healed of all her maladies. I want you to know that Richard and I will continue to pray for you and your dear family.

Mr Smith and family remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Continue to look to the hills from whence cometh all of your help! A beautiful rose 🌹 was added to God’s heavenly garden.
Dea. Harry & Min. Cynthia Frazier ✝️🙏🏾

JW and family,
I was so sad to hear of Shirley’s passing. I know that she had a long battle but she had her family by her side through it all. I will continue to pray for you and the family that you are comforted by the fact that she is safe in the arms of Jesus.
