God could not be everywhere. And therefore, he made Mother’s
Dorthy was a Member of our Church and sat in front of me every Sunday , a couple of times they missed and would have to set some place else, and i would feel so bad because i would always kiss her on the cheek when she sat down, but i would get up and go over to give he a kiss on the cheek, i will miss her so much but know she is in a good place with her maker!
