We will never forget Milton & Alvinia and the good times we shared at Ray of Hope Church. We kept in touch with Alvinia after Milton’s passing. She was such a pleasant person to talk to and her love for God was definitely felt just by being around her. This precious lady will surely be missed. Alvinia, love on Adam for us.
Thank you so much for being a good friend to Mom. Her love for the Lord was real and deep. I’m grateful for how she modeled that relationship for all of us. Marti aka Martha, her youngest
What a beautiful person of faith…while visiting another friend at Our Lady of Hope I turned around to see Alvinia….after seeing her there I tried to visit her as well….what a faith she had in Jesus even during her trials and illness…what a true witness….we had attended West End Assembly of God and Wed.night Bible classes with her husband …..they are reunited and celebrating Jesus together again….prayers for family in this time and days ahead…blessings..
Thanks so much for visiting Mom. I remember her telling me about your visits! She was grateful!!! She was a champ! All she wanted was a new body… this side of heaven or ont he other side. She knew she would be healed! Thanks again for being a friend to Mom.
