A special thanks to Dr. Felix Morris for going above and beyond in caring for our mother. “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am, And you know the way to where I am going. John 12:1-4.”
