Iwas deeply sadden to hear about the passing of Mrs. Willie Greene. She will be remembered for her sweetness, her smile and her willingness to help others.... She was a 'Christian Church' friend to me. As our churches would gather together , she always greeted me with that beautiful smile...oh yes and she could talk... I'm gonna miss her...My Condolences to the Greene family. Our faith is certainly tested at times like this. Please find solace in the words of the Bible that say 'Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.' I am confident that God will comfort you in your time of need. -
