It is with a heavy heart that I am sending this. God called another Angel home. You will be missed Dody Fowler!
Because visitation for Dody will be on our normal day for Ladies Guild, we will be meeting after church this Sunday - March 2nd. We have several things to discuss, so please plan to be there!
Please let me know if you can't make it.
