Many women have done wonderful things…but a woman who fears the LORD, shall be praised. Proverbs 31:29-30
On Thursday afternoon, June 10, 2021, God looked down from above and touched our dearly beloved Fossie. God saw that she was getting tired, so He gently closed her loving eyes and whispered “Peace Be Thine”
