Nettie and Quentin and the whole family. Through Marie and Mozetta Debbie and I feel like extended family. Every time I’ve driven past Marie and Mozetta’s house I’d be reminded to thank God for what a special person Marie was and also to pray for Mozetta. I know her health has not been good, but I didn’t realize she had gotten worse. I’m happy for her that she is with Marie and other loved ones and especially Jesus. We will continue to pray for all of you and for Gods grace and comfort.
Love,
Debbie and Brad
