I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Swain. She is from the era where women were true ladies and conducted themselves as ladies. Due to prior engagements I cannot attend visitation or the services, but my thoughts and prayers are with the family. We don’t worry about her future; that is assured to be glorious. I look forward to the day I shall see her in heaven along with those other saints.
