I will miss Honey sitting in her pew at church all wrapped up saying it was cold in church. After church she would so proudly show me pictures of her grandchildren. She fixed the one and only bologna burger that I have ever eaten. She and I share a love for angels and cats. My prayer is for God’s grace and mercy will see the family through the next days and weeks.
