I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Sister Georgia Sanford. I enjoyed the conversations we had over the phone. She would tell me some history about Indian Creek Primitive Baptist Church history. I learned a lot from her. Sister Sanford will truly be missed. We all loved her, but the Lord loved her best.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" -Psalm 34:18. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family. May God bless you!
