Mrs. Alma is my grandmother. She was one of the kindest most selfless people I know. Always smiling and offering gentle words. If you ever met her you know exactly what I mean. She was so perfect. You will be truly missed granny. Love from the Smith family.

From time to time we'll face "river crossings" impossible situations that can grow our faith if we'll turn to the One who makes the way across.No matter what it is, God Who Was With Moses, Joshua, And The Israelites also makes a way for us. I am with you as I was with Moses(JOSHUA 3:) THANK YOU, DEAR JESUS, THAT YOU MAKE THE WAY ACROSS ANY RIVER WE FACE, INCLUDING THE FINAL ONE. RIP MS.ALMA, You Made it Home!!!
