“I learned a lot with the gifts and opportunities God gave me.  Lord Jesus helped me through the death of my Dad by giving me a white rose.  Lord God blessed me with good friends and family who helped me through hard times, and made the good times blessed.  I’m eternally blessed in the presence of God.”  - Debra Grimm
