The best mother-in law/spiritual mother in the world. She was a powerful and Prophetic anointed woman of God. She labored with me in the shut-ins and on the phone. She made sure that I understood the word of God and the Prophetic things of the spirit. I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in her home. I am so glad that I had a mother in-law/spiritual mother like her in my life. I truly miss her every day.

May their memories never be forgotten
