What a sweet lady. We had so many conversations at Chief Supermarket. She invited me to come and listen to her sing one day. I was so impressed with her beautiful voice and the complete joy she showed while she was singing. I have not seen her in quit a long time but always wondered how she was getting along. God bless her family as they walk through these difficult days.
