Cousin James, I’m so sorry to hear that Lorene lost her battle. But you and I know that she is now in a better place. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I’m sure dad is there welcoming her to the paradise we all want to achieve. Stay strong cousin. I will be praying comfort for you during this difficult time.
