One of the most special women we have ever met. Always had an open door, a pot of tea and goodies and a puzzle on the go. We spent many enjoyable hours listening to her stories and gleaning jewels of wisdom from this beautiful woman of God. She lived out her faith everyday in word and deed. She dealt with pain everyday but always managed to smile through it all, earth's loss is definitely heaven's gain. Rest in peace beautiful one. - Posted by: Don and Diane Timmons (Former pastor RGC) on: Jun 29, 2016
