I’ll never forget the day you asked me to be administrator of your groups. We became great friends. I asked for your address and you were like, why? I said I needed it. My husband and I sent you money because we were moved by the Holy Spirit. You received it and said you hardly know us. I then stated, yes, but you have to accept the money because the Holy Soirit moved in us to be obedient. You couldn’t than us enough and your car needed a tire, so that’s what you did with the money. See, the Holy Spirit knew. Every since that our friendship grew and blossomed into becoming family. I will miss talking to Cherri and duoing you to see how you both are doing. Our talks were for hours with both of you, always ending in we love you.
We will forever miss you both! I’m looking forward twords the day I see you both again.
Don’t worry Mike and Cherri, God has your children and grandchildren.
All our Love,
Denise and Jose Reyes
