My heartfelt condolence to the HERRON FAMILY.
For you Ann, my fiend- Proverb 18:22- Who so findeth a wife, findeth a good thing, and obtainth favor of the Lord. Ann, Oliver found you.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hands of a mighty man; so are the children of the youth Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but they shall with the enemies in the gate. PS 127:3-5
Oliver shall be miss by all whose path he crossed. Be Blessed.
With Love,
Olivia
