I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course; I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up a crown for my righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. ~ 2 Timothy : 7-8 Mother Luberta Lousie Howard Mixon was born April 17, 1927, in Jackson, Mississippi to Frank and Beatrice Howard, who proceeded her in death.
