So much to be thankful for as we journey back home😇

First: It is by the power of the living God/dess and the ‘Great Cloud of Witnesses’ that go with me, before me, and cover me in the spiritual realm: I am truly grateful.

Second: Bishop Alvin J. McCoy and his wife Pastor Lisa McCoy of New and Living Way Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ… are a manisfestation of the Love of Christ💕! To your team, they served us with loving kindness❤️ oh did I mention the food 🥬🫛🥔🍅and on and on … good eating 😋of the 🍑cobbler and 🌽bread 🤩

Next, to everyone who attended the Memorial Service in person or virtually via ZOOM, thank you for honoring a life well lived👏🏿!

Finally: To my daughter who supported me throughout the service, thank you🥰 My daughter said to me, “I think your parents would be proud of you.” WOW.. that put a smile on my face … truth is my parents are always with me in everything I do😇🙏💕
