There is a time to be sad then there's a time to rejoice. In the short time, I got to know Ms. Hattie she was so beautifully pleasant and a faithful spirit. Always praying to the Lord and I know for certain he never left her side. It was a honor to have spent together caring for her however the good Lord had other plans for her. I pray the Lord will continue to strengthen, shelter each and loved one and close friends during this time. Heaven has surly gained an Angel and we to must do our due diligence to make it into those pearly gates as well. 🕊️Till we meet again, Amen🕊️
