To the Brooks and Bellamy families: This note is to send my deepest condolences to each of you on the transition of my big Sister Queen L. As a child growing up in the Sandfort community and sharing worship services at St. Peter, Queen L. always treated me as her baby brother and expressed her love each time we met.
