Our mother never gave up her fight…...

That is why we never give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day. We have small troubles for awhile now, but these troubles are helping us gain an eternal glory. That eternal glory is much greater than our troubles. So we think about what we cannot see, not what we can see. What we see lasts only a short time and what we cannot see will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

We both would like to take this chance to thank everyone for all the thoughts, support and prayers over the last 16 months.Your kindness will not be forgotten.

Billy and Anne Loflin
