You are truly a blessing to the community! We can learn a LOT from you and the select few like you that have set such a wonderful example for us. God Bless and thank you!
Aunt Olvena,
I enjoyed the story. Your words are so true. We need more people who live their lives so others can see the example you set.
Mrs. Smith I enjoyed hearing your story. I loved the truth of your word and the wisdom you have gained from such a long life. Thank you for making a positive difference in the world and the dedication you have had in working at the polls.
