Julie & Family,
" Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus" His peace is a peace that the world can't give and they world can't take away.
Praying for you,
Jennifer

Thomas Miles was a man I had very much hoped to meet one day. He is honored, cherished, and deeply loved by his grand daughter, Bailey, the person I hold closest to my heart. I've heard many stories of this man's greatness and I am sad to hear of his passing. God willing, I hope I'm able to meet this man when my time on this earth is done. May his soul rest in peace and carry on eternally in the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to share their lives with him.
