Well, actually three times. The first one was when I delivered her…she was immediately returned to the Lord.
The second dedication was planned for March 1st. My mom and in-laws drove from Atlanta to be here. Then, it happened. Snow & ice closed down the city and all activities at the church were cancelled. So, my [...]
