When I arrived at church at 8:00 am yesterday, your mother was already there; an unusual occurrence as she and one of your aunts usually arrive at 8:25 am for our 8:30 am worship service. She was there early to check on the ice around the church. When asked if you would join the family for Easter dinner, she perked up and was as animated with joy as I have seen her in anticipation of you and Otis arriving. The joy of Easter with family! Praise be to God!
