Maggie, I’ve known you from being your next door neighbor while I was living in IL. I’ve never known any other person as kind, caring and loving like you. You and Arnold had thought me a lot of things in life.
You and Arnold will be once again together in the other life with our Lord Jesus Christ. You will be greatly missed.
